OWASP Winter Of Security

Foreword

-- placeholder for some cool-looking motivational foreword --

Poject Goal

The goal of OWOS is to give students the opportunity to earn academic credits while they learn about computer security.

Benefits

You get to work for a popular project. Since the project is open source your work is publicly visible. You get university credits while doing so. You are supervised by a person with real-world experience on security You make excellent contacts and you participate in an international team

How it works: (borrowed from the mozilla blog) Winter of Security, so called because we want students to get involved 800px-Redpandas4430roughly between September and April. Each project has an advisor from Mozilla who will be dedicating a few hours every week to the students. We also ask that a professor oversees the team from a university point of view, and ensures the projects align with their curriculum. Anyone can apply, under the condition that the university will give class credits and a grade for the work done in MWoS.
