New Business

• AppSec USA - Update from Laura

Please go over the last status update from Laura in the reading material, and see for yourselves where we are at in terms of registrations. This last week, registrants paying for their tickets couldn't register for training. Now, I only see 9 training classes, which considering the outstanding success of training profitability in AppSec EU, is going to result in a disappointing profitability for this event. I would like to understand our status as of today, what we can do to fix the registration issue for those 260+ who bought a ticket, but couldn't buy training classes, what we can do to promote the event, and what assistance we can provide the organisers to make this a great event.

Status Report (Tom)

• Projects and external funding - interpretation

Anyone, including OWASP Project Leaders, are able to take OWASP projects and generate revenue for themselves as long as they abide by the license terms of that project. If a project leader can convince others to pay them for something involving their project that doesn't violate the license, then such activity does not negatively impact their project's standing with the OWASP Foundation. As long as the project remains Open Source (FLOSS) and healthy per the OWASP Project Handbook, it can remain an OWASP project. It is recommended that the project name not match any external offering to avoid confusion and, in cases where such a external offering is provided, a disclaimer will be placed on the project page.

Note: This does not change the long standing policy that OWASP Foundation project funds cannot be spent on the project leader directly (aka pay them directly) but must, instead, be spent on items to enhance the project such as graphic art, editing, travel expenses to a project summit, etc.
