Currently Working On

 * AppSec USA
 * Spent last week in Austin, Texas at AppSec USA: From Monday through Sunday.
 * Took care of the logistics for the OSS presenters: Set up their booths, printed and designed their signs, set up monitors and power cords, arranged for them to have food, water, notepads, etc.
 * Hoping to bring OSS to all four OWASP Global Conferences in 2013 on a larger scale.
 * Attended in-person board meeting.
 * I was one of the conference photographers.
 * Attended chapter leader workshop: Hoping to do something similar for Project Leaders.
 * Attended 5 Hour in-person staff meeting.
 * Had dinner with Nishi and Keith: Thank you, guys.
 * Volunteered to bartend, and won 2nd place in the armadillo races. :)
 * Misc. logistics support for the conference.


 * Salesforce Metadata Migration
 * All project data is now in Salesforce.
 * I continue to work with Kate to finish the migration.
 * We are currently working on creating a template e-mail to send to all active project leaders asking them to update their information.


 * Project Promotion Events
 * Simon Bennetts and Jim Manico have registered to give talks at FOSDEM.
 * FOSDEM: Free and Open Source Developers' European Meeting.
 * Date: February 2nd -3rd.
 * If their applications are successful, they will have a great opportunity to promote their projects.
 * Simon is promoting ZAP.
 * Jim will be promoting OWASP Projects in general, and using several Reboot 2012 projects as examples of success stories.
 * Main track speakers get costs covered.


 * SourceForge Update
 * The sales people finally got back to me.
 * Evidently, we owe them $12,000.
 * Here is the Invoice.
 * Here is the letter regarding the recent purchase of the Media Division of Geeknet.
 * We need to discuss what we are going to do with this.
 * Moreover, we need to discuss how to close this account, and how we are going to migrate existing OWASP users to a different platform.


 * Projects Handbook
 * I have made more edits to the new Handbook.
 * I have added an Appendix.
 * The Project Donation agreement is finalised.
 * Flagship Projects: I think I should keep a section in here that describes what flagship projects are, but note that this designation is given by The Foundation? Thoughts?
 * Project Release Review Criteria: I need a bit of help to come up with the technical qualifying criteria for each project category for their reviews.
 * Let's discuss this today, and I can explain the reasoning behind my idea.


 * Daily Project based queries and requests
 * This has not changed much since I began the post: questions are very similar in nature.
 * AppSec USA 2012 queries
 * Travel queries
 * Budget based questions
 * Funding questions
 * Project based administrative help
 * Project status information
 * Several project donations questions
 * OWASP LinkedIn Updates

More Funding Potential

 * 1) OWASP ESAPI FUNDING PROPOSAL
 * 2) The ESAPI proposal is done: Thank you Jim Manico and Kevin Wall for finalising the technical questions.
 * 3) I am submitting this proposal come Monday.
 * 4) This is for $25,000 from the DHS.
 * 5) I have begun the application for our Google Grant.
 * 6) If we are successful with the Google Grant, we will be awarded $10,000 a month for use in a Google Adwords Campaign.
 * 7) We potentially have another project for 2013 that we may get a much larger grant for from the DHS. (Yet to be determined)
 * 8) DHS wants further involvement with OWASP with funding. (I have contacted Kevin Greene from DHS to set up a meeting. I am waiting to hear back).
 * 9) Thank you Matt Tesauro for putting Kevin and I together.

Attendees

 * 1) Samantha Groves
 * 2) Kate Hartmann
 * 3) Jason Li

Primary Outcomes and Decisions

 * 1) Jason: Find the final version of the contract with SourceForge, and send to all GPC members.
 * 2) Jason: Locate the e-mail exchange between SourceForge and GPC that includes their inability to meet our project feedback standards.
 * 3) Samantha: Touch base with the SourceForge account people, and attempt to schedule a meeting with them next week.
 * 4) We have decided to end the contract with SourceForge after we sort out the invoice next week.
 * 5) Develop a communications piece letting the community know why the account with SourceForge was closed.
 * 6) Samantha: Send Kate a list of accounts created under OWASP's name in the Google Grants website.
 * 7) Samantha: Send an updated list of the Project Lifecycle process stages to GPC.
 * GPC: Look through new Projects Handbook, and note down any questions, concerns or objections before our next meeting.
 * 1) Goal: Get the handbook and project processes finished by the 1st of January.
