Project Announcements

Project talks at AppSec USA

The OWASP Project Summit is a smaller version of the much larger OWASP Summits.  This event activity gives our project leaders the opportunity to showcase their project progress, and have attendees sit down and work on project tasks during the event.  It is an excellent opportunity to engage the event attendees, and it gives project leaders the chance to move forward on their project milestones while meeting new potential volunteers that can assist with future milestones.  The project talks have now been scheduled.  Visit the AppSec USA website for the schedule.  If you have any questions, please contact Samantha Groves.



Global Webinar Series wants to feature your Project.  Please contact Kate Hartmann or Samantha Groves to schedule your project webinar.

New Support email is now available.  To reach a staff member, email:  support@owasp.org
