Suncoast Chapter

Welcome to the OWASP Suncoast Local Chapter
The OWASP Suncoast Chapter was founded in March 2008 by [mailto:carter.stephen@gmail.com Steve Carter] and [mailto:mnixxon@gmail.com Mike Nixon]. Chapter meetings are held several times a year, typically once per quarter on the first Tuesday of the month.

Participation
OWASP Local Chapter meetings are free and open. Our chapter's meetings are informal and encourage open discussion of all aspects of application security. Anyone in our area interested in web application security is welcome to attend. If you plan to attend a chapter meeting, please subscribe to the OWASP Suncoat Mailing List to get reminders and notification of any changes.

We encourage attendees to give short presentations about specific topics. If you would like to make a presentation, or have any questions about the Suncoast Chapter, send an email to one of the chapter leaders.

Speakers from commercial companies are welcome although it is against Chapter rules to promote commercial products.
