Global OWASP Connector - November 26, 2013
2013 Project Summit I just wanted to take some time to thank all of the OWASP Project Leaders that participated in last week's project talks, and the OWASP Project Summit at AppSec USA in New York.  Both activities were great successes.  They could not have been as terrific without your hard work, dedication, and contributions.  I hope to see you again next year! Samantha Groves  Project Announcements OWASP Media Project Jonathan Marcil, project leader, was at AppSec USA this past week recording our attending Project Leader's presentations during the Summit.  We now have an excellent collection of talks on our OWASP YouTube channel.  If you want to watch, please visit our official You Tube channel  Thank you to our Newest Corporate Member Micro Trend Thank you to our Renewed Corporate Members Best Buy Amazon Proposed Change to Corporate Membership Model Comment Period Open The board voted to move to a tiered corporate membership model.  This enables organizations to support OWASP at a variety of levels.  We are still working on the details of the updated membership matrix.  We are seeking the input and feed back from current and potential corporate supporters on the proposed model. Please take a few minutes to review the proposal and provide us with your feedback.  You can email us at support@owasp.org New Membership Model Proposal	Thank EVERYONE who helped out with the OWASP Foundation AppSec USA 2013 event.  In total we raised over $250,000.00 for OWASP Foundation and just a few media hits that mention the event inline with our mission of raising awareness.  The videos will be online line here:  Global OWASP YouTube Channel. 2014 Global Conference Schedule:   AppSec APAC 2014 - March 17-20, Tokyo, Japan  CALL FOR PAPERS/TRAINING IS NOW OPEN AppSec EU - June 23-26, Cambridge, UK AppSec USA - September 16-19, Denver, CO Local and Regional Events OWASP BeNeLux - Nov 28-Nov 29, Netherlands AppSec California 2014 - Jan 27-Jan 28, Santa Monica, CA  Partner and Promotional Events OWASP has partnered with these great events in the latter half of 2013 to grow our community and build awareness around software security.  If you want to learn more about OWASP's involvement or will be attending and ant to help out contact us Atak i Obrona (attack & Defense) 2013 - Poland, November 26 Cloud Security Alliance Congress 2013 - Orlando, FL, December 4-5 - OWASP Members receive a 10% discount by using discount code:  CSA13/OWASP Winter Hacker Festival 2013 presented by HackMiami - Miami, Fl, December 5-7 Nullcon - Goa, India, Feb 12-15, 2014  Call for papers is open.  Submit here Security Management Audit Forum 2014, Poland, February 19-20	Congratulations to the 2014 Foundation Board of Directors Board Chair Michael Coates Vice Chair Tom Brennan Treasurer Josh Sokol - NEW Secretary Tobias Gondrom - NEW Members at Large Fabio Cerullo - NEW Eoin Keary Jim Manico Also, many thanks to Sebastien Deleersnyder and Dave Wichers for their many years of service on the OWASP board.  While their involvement on the board will be coming to a close at the end of 2013, we fully expect we will continue seeing them at many AppSec and other OWASP events.
