About OWASP Israel in 2008
Just before wrapping up 2007, we held a very successful conference, and now is the time to plan for 2008. As The timportance of securing application is becoming clearer, we think that OWASP role is becoming more important and hope to expand our activities in 2008.

Conferences and meetings

 * OWASP Israel 2008 would be held in the autumn of 2008 at the Interdisciplinary Center in Herzeliya. It would be a full day, two tracks conference.


 * In May 2008 we want to hold a mini-conference, the type and location of are yet to be determined. Any ideas are welcomed.


 * We would like to expand our regular meetings program both in geographic scope and frequency. The goal is to have a meeting every other month and for the 1st time venture beyond the center also to Haifa and Jerusalem.
