First of all, thank you for visiting the OWASP website. I hope you found what you were looking for and find it to be a valuable resource. Thousands of others already have. Take the [[Top 10 2010|OWASP Top 10]] for example: the 2010 List has been viewed over 41,000 times since it went online in April. That's over 150 views every day--for a totally free resource created by volunteers. Volunteers who are experts in their fields and want nothing more than to make the Internet better and safer for everyone. | First of all, thank you for visiting the OWASP website.

| − | + | Now consider this: If even half the number of people who viewed the Top 10 donated just a dollar each, OWASP would be able to completely fund the travel expenses of about a dozen such volunteer experts to attend its [[Summit 2011|2011 Global Summit]]. Some of them are able to attend through funding from their respective companies, but many need assistance. The Summit isn't a conference, by the way: There are no lectures or training seminars--it's an opportunity to do actual work to further the field of application security. Participants even stay in shared accommodations to collaborate, producing tangible progress towards influencing standards, establishing road maps, and setting the tone for OWASP and application security for the coming years. | |

Why Sponsor the Summit ParticipantsAs the face of application threats continues to grow, we need your help. This February, we begin a new era of our mission by convening at the OWASP Global Summit in Lisbon, Portugal. Many of our attendees fund their own way in order to spend a week of work, research and talks that will shape the next iteration of tools and deliverables for the global security community to share. As part of this effort, we need your financial support in order to get all of our top leaders present. This personal request is one that asks you to consider any monetary support for mobilizing our global leadership community to convene in less than a month. Please act today and you'll help to support the ongoing efforts of a growing non-profit that has given so much and is ready to give much more through its tools, research, frameworks, and much more. How Can You Help?As of January 10, 2011, after having spent much for organizing our global summit, we are still short of our goal. The current shortfall is what separates many of our top leaders/contributors from attending the Summit in February. If you are a company and would like to sponsor a leader, you can make a difference with your pledge today. Funds are used to subsidize their travel to and accommodations at the week-long working session. Our leaders and top contributors selflessly donate their time and Application Security knowledge to provide guides, tools, and other resources that benefit governments and companies all over the world. If you have benefited from the free materials at OWASP, please consider supporting our Summit today! Here are some of the leaders/contributor that need your support in order to be present at the Summit: Name and funding requirement
