 * Planning continues for the project event modules for AppSec USA 2013.
 * I continue to work with our Project Summit participants to help plan the logistics for their participation.
 * I had to cancel our Project Summit meeting due to scheduling conflicts.
 * However, I created a mailing list, and added all participating Leaders to the list.

 * The total amount we are requesting is $6,000.00 to cover conference fee, training fee, travel and accommodation for both winners.
 * We are working hard to make this a possibility for our 2 potential winners.


 * Technical Project Advisory Roles
 * I am at the second stage of the interview process for each candidate.
 * I have created job descriptions for each role, and I had those roles posted for over a month.
 * I had a good amount of candidates apply for each role.
 * I have sent out e-mails asking each candidate to answer 3 questions regarding their interest in these roles.
 * 10 candidates responded to these questions.
 * I went ahead and scheduled interviews with 7 candidates for this week, and I have 2 more interviews scheduled for the week of the 24th.
 * I interviewed 7 candidates this week.


 * Marketing Phase 3 Update
 * We are at the final stages of our copywriting work with Sisterworks Publishing.

 * We will work with both companies to finalize these designs for community review.

 * Phase 1 Deliverable
 * Phase 2 Deliverable
 * SEO Content Audit
 * Note: Phase 2 Deliverable has recommendations made by Sisterworks and Design Foundry based on their research.
 * We are not necessarily moving forward with these recommendations towards implementation.
 * Sisterworks and Design Foundry are helping with our brand consistency and collateral design.


 * How to Host a Project Event Module Page
 * I have started putting together a project page dedicated to the different event modules/activities we offer at our AppSec Conferences.
 * The page is meant to be an informative piece that gives conference and event planners some basic guidelines.
 * Currently, the structure and the outline of the page are complete.
 * I still have to finish writing the copy for each section.
 * I hope to have this complete by the end of June.
