Why I would like to be elected to the Global OWASP Foundation Board of Directors

Martin is a long time active member of the OWASP organization who has experienced the highs and lows of the OWASP community. OWASP has become the resource for web and application security, say software security in general. We are threaten to loose the credits gained by the work of many volunteers developing tools and guides that made OWASP a trusted resource. The last years, OWASP has been shown growing pain, trying to become the mature organization we are obliged to be.

With my background in software development, experience the security sector and last not least my network inside OWASP, I hope to be able to strengthen the OWASP community in Europe and the Global Foundation.
