OWASP Global Projects Report

Currently Working On

OWASP Project Leaders: Brand Usage Guidelines
- I have begun developing brand usage guidelines for our project leaders with Jim Manico's help.
- We have decided to use the Apache Software Foundation's documentation on the subject as a guide for our own.
- We feel they developed excellent material, and we plan to use their guidelines as a starting point.
- I spent this week putting together our OWASP Project Leader Brand Usage Guidelines.
- I plan to propose this to the community and the Board come next week.
- OWASP Project Leader Brand Usage Guidelines.

Project Leader Responsibilities & Expectations
- I have finished putting together documentation that outlines a project leader's responsibilities, and our foundation's expectations of them.
- This document was written to help project leaders understand their responsibilities as managers of their project(s).
- The first draft is now complete: Project Leader Responsibilities
- I plan to propose this to the community and the Board come next week.

Project Wiki Templates
- I am working towards developing new wiki templates for our OWASP Projects.
- Leaders have expressed frustrations with our current templates as they are not very user friendly.
- Our PLs also need to let our consumers know at which stage a project is in within our OWASP Projects Infrastructure.
- Development is ongoing.

Project Leader Cheat Sheet
- I am currently developing a "How to run a successful OWASP Project" document.
- I hope this document will help project leaders understand how to best leverage the OWASP Project Infrastructure for success.
- This is an ongoing project.
- I will have a first draft of this completed by the end of next week.

Sales Force for Projects
- Kate and I have been working together on Sales Force for Projects.
- Currently, we have all of the existing project metadata updated into our Sales Force system.
- We are exploring options for PLs to update their project information without my assistance.
- We are also exploring options that will help PLs use Sales Force for project management, budget tracking, and resource tracking.
- We came to the conclusion that Sales Force Portals are the best option.
- Kate is looking into logistics for Portals.

Daily Project based queries and requests
- This has not changed much since I began the post: questions are very similar in nature.
- Global AppSec questions.
- Funding queries.
- Travel availability.
- Project based administrative help.
- Project status information.
- Several project donations questions.
- OWASP LinkedIn Updates.
- What's happening with projects, questions.
