Funds available for OWASP Projects

[... this page is still in Draft mode since this has not yet been fully reviewed by OWASP's board]

This page contains details about funds available to OWASP projects.

The sponsorship model is different from the one used in AoC 06 and SpoC 007 since these are cases where specific money (throughout out the year) has been allocated to OWASP projects (for example by new OWASP members or by companies/organizations with specific requirements/projects)

Questions for SANS (5k)

 * Project description:: Write JAVA/JSP questions for SANS's Software Security Institute certification exams(http://www.sans-ssi.org/).

For obvious reasons only 10% to 20% of the questions created will be disclosed to the OWASP community, with the remaining used in the certification's exams.

Note that although this first request is for questions in JAVA/JSP there are plans to also run a similar project for C, C++, PHP, .NET, so if you are interrested in these other languages feel free to contact us.
