AppSec USA: OPT &OSS

- OPT: This event module will be omitted for AppSec USA.

- Mini Project Working Groups: This event module will be developed for this conference. The idea is to coordinate working groups for a handfull of projects at the conference.

Project Reviews Process: Workflow Adjustment
- Testing of original Reviews Process developed in early 2013 produced these results: 1. Poor quality of reviewers; 2. Poor quality of the reviews.
- Below is the new proposal:
- A working group of technical project advisors headed by a member of the board.
- I feel this person should be you, Jim, since I think you have shown great dedication and support to our projects overall. (Lead Technical Project Advisor).
- The working group should be made up of the following areas: Secure Development, Secure Lifecycle Activity, Static Analysis, Dynamic Analysis, Governance, and Knowledge.
- Each of these areas should be a project division role filled by one individual.
- Each role will have a six month limit, or the individual can resign the post if he/she can no longer fulfil the role's duties.
- These roles will be responsible for reviewing projects, and increasing the quality of the project review process and criteria.
- This working group will be managed by the Lead Technical Project Advisor (Jim) with updates and outcomes reported to the OWASP PM.

OWASP Marketing
- I am taking a more active role in OWASP's Global Marketing Initiatives.
- The next initiatives meeting will involve the Marketing Company we are currently working with.
- They will present their Phase 1 research findings to the entire community.
- Goal: To develop a marketing and brand strategy for the organisation.
- I will coordinate Phase 3 & 4 of our Marketing Initiatives.
