WORKING SESSION SPECIFICS
Objectives	You´ve already started a local Chapter and know the Chapter rules "by heart". However, you most certainly have questions about growing, financing and "local" vs. "board" decision-making processes... The aim of the Workshop is to identify existing material, prepare some ideas and compile a "Chapter Best Practices Guideline" together after the Summit. Typical challenges are: Money: Where can I get funds from for growing my chapter - e.g. marketing efforts, organisational costs, etc... e.g. OWASP membership fees of local members/portions of it to be credited to the local chapter "Local" decisions: What can the local chapter decide upon e.g. "local PR messages (non English), (local) projects (perhaps as a start of international projects) - using professional help for setting up conferences etc. covering costs for "reasonable" translation efforts.. Creating a local "OWASP Foundation" non-profit organisation vs. working as part of the global "OWASP Foundation" Best practices building "local boards" etc.
Venue/Date&Time/Model	Venue OWASP EU Summit Portugal 2008	Date&Time November 5 & 7, 2008 Time TBD	Discussion Model "Participants + Attendees"
