Other Issues

 * Supported Mark Curphey's efforts to engage OWASP community in the activity of producing videos to document the community's wide vitality and diversity;
 * Studied the OWASP Projects Handbook so to prepare my participation in the forthcoming GPC's working Session at OWASP AppSecUsa;
 * Had a week out of work - vacation time.

Routine Tasks

 * My daily routine always includes answering a relatively wide range of questions regularly posed by OWASP members and mainly by OWASP Projects leaders; I receive such inquiries either directly or through the OWASP Website Global Feedback & Inquiry Form. The variety of matters that I currently deal with can be checked in my email tool and the tree of folders built to store, follow up and organize them as follows 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9. I would like to note that to perform this task, and all the others projects' related ones, I have always had relevant support and guidance from the OWASP Global Projects Committee.
 * I've kept all OWASP Projects Dashboard 2.0's databases up-to-date as follows:
 * OWASP Reviews Dashboard,
 * OWASP Project Reviewers Database,
 * Projects 2.0/By Set Up Date Order,
 * Projects 2.0/By Alphabetic Order,
 * OWASP Training,
 * OWASP Project Inventory.

Proposal of future activity

 * To continue answering all received projects' related questions.
 * To continue setting up new projects and new releases as requested.
 * To implement all GPC requests and concretely to support its plans to:
 * Carry out the Project Hosting initiative as a tool to provide a centralized repository for OWASP;
 * Build a new OWASP Projects Portal;
 * To set up all the OWASP free training courses that may be requested by OWASP Chapters.
 * To work with Dinis Cruz, Carlos Serrão and Konstantinos Papapanagiotou to produce an initial/draft proposal of an OWASP Training Academy.
