Indianapolis

Welcome to the Indianapolis OWASP Local Chapter. The OWASP chapter meetings are free and open to anyone interested in application security. Chapter meetings are usually held monthly, please consult the calendar for the date of the upcoming meeting. If you have never attended a meeting before and you are interested to attend one in the future please join first the mailing list. The mailing list is also used for sharing application security knowledge among the local community members. You can also review the email archives to see what local folks have been talking about.

OWASP is a non profit organization and as such operates thanks to the volunteering effort of his members as well as on OWASP Membership fees and sponsorship for financial support of the organization's projects and activities. Organization memberships & direct donations to OWASP are fully tax deductible. If you are interested to participate to OWASP meetings as well as OWASP projects and/or activities, we encourage your financial support to the chapter as well as to the OWASP organization.

If you are interested to present at one of the chapter meetings please send an abstract and bio to the chapter chair. Prior to participating to OWASP please review the Chapter Rules.
