Currently Working On

 * SourceForge Update
 * Audrey has replied.
 * She has not received payment.
 * I confirmed with Alison that payment was made in the beginning of December.
 * I have sent Audrey the payment details, and I am waiting to hear back from her now.
 * Our account with SourceForge is now closed.


 * OWASP Licenses Update
 * This is the final draft of the letter: Letter.
 * Dr. Gottlieb has responded with a change in license. I have made the necessary changes on our records.
 * The other two project leaders have not responded.
 * I will reach out to them before the day ends.


 * AppSec APAC 2013: Planning
 * I have now closed down the 'Call for Entries' for the Open Source Showcase.
 * We received no applicants for the OSS.
 * The Project Track has 4 interested applicants.
 * We are in the process of sorting out logistics for these potential speakers.


 * CTF at our Global AppSec Conferences
 * I spoke with Steven van der Baan about developing a CTF event module for OWASP AppSec Conferences.
 * We agreed that South Korea would have to pass for this year, but that we should aim for having CTF at AppSec USA, Europe, and Latin America.
 * Steven can get time off for USA and Europe.
 * Steven will need funding for hotel and travel expenses. (I will check with the foundation to see if we can do this).
 * The CTF module is scalable and Steven agreed to help us teach other volunteers how to run the event if he can't make it.
 * There is a possibility we can combine the University Challenge module with CTF. I will touch base with Martin after the holidays to see if this is possible.
 * Next Steps: We will begin developing a way to teach back up volunteers how to run CTF Steven's absence.


 * New Project Web Page
 * The new Project Page design is now complete.
 * Please review the page, and note down any comments, changes, etc.
 * I plan to make this live towards the beginning of January.


 * Assessment Criteria, Lifecycle, and Graduation Processes
 * I have not received feedback since the last GPC meeting.
 * Please review when you get the opportunity, and provide feedback.
 * If there is no feedback, I will assume that the proposal has no objections.


 * Daily Project based queries and requests
 * This has not changed much since I began the post: questions are very similar in nature.
 * Global AppSec questions.
 * Funding queries.
 * Travel availability.
 * Project based administrative help.
 * Project status information.
 * Several project donations questions.
 * OWASP LinkedIn Updates.
 * What's happening with projects, questions.

More Funding Potential

 * 1) Guidebooks Grant Payment: We are still waiting to hear back from Deb regarding payment.
 * 2) ESAPI Grant Proposal: The proposal has passed the first round of reviews. It is now at the peer review stage with 6 other applications. I suspect we will hear back from the DHS after the holidays.
 * 3) Ryan and I have agreed on a project plan for the ModSecurity Project.
 * 4) I have begun the grant writing process.
 * 5) This will be for a $30,000 grant proposal.
