Currently Working On

 * OWASP Marketing
 * I am managing the OWASP Marketing deliverables for the foundation.
 * I am managing the relationship with the Marketing company hired to deliver some materials for us.
 * The Ops Team and I discussed our current relationship with them, and the deliverables they have provided us.
 * We made decisions on these pieces, and recommendations on creative brief adjustments.
 * We met with the Marketing company this week, and communicated our decisions to them.
 * I am currently coordinating a webinar with the Marketing company, to communicate out their recommendations to us to our community.


 * Projects in SalesForce
 * All existing project meta data has been entered into SalesForce.
 * The challenge now is implementing a workflow that will help me manage the data and the relationships between each piece of information.
 * I am currently working with Kate to figure out a short term solution for this.
 * The long term solution is to build SalesForce portals that will allow project leaders the ability to self manage their data.


 * Women in Security Event Module
 * I met with several volunteers at the New York City volunteer meeting for AppSec USA 2013.
 * Some of these volunteers are interested in bringing the Women in Security event module back to AppSec USA this year.
 * I helped collect volunteer information, created a mailing list, and I am managing the conversation to help get this event module to the conference this year.
 * We are currently developing guidelines and entry requirements for new candidates.


 * Projects at AppSec EU
 * Several members of the Ops Team and I met with Dirk, the local events planner for AppSec EU 2013.
 * We decided on bringing the Open Source Showcase, and the OWASP Projects Track (OPT) to the conference this year.
 * Dirk already has speakers lined up for the OPT, and I am putting together a "Call for Entries" for the OSS.
