Currently Working On

 * OWASP Asia Leadership Outreach Project
 * This Asia Leadership Outreach Project came about during the discussion Dhillon and I had about OWASP at the Kuala Lumpar, Hack in the Box event.
 * He mentioned that he has offered OWASP a booth at the Kuala Lumpar, Hack in the Box event for a few years, but local chapters have not represented OWASP very well.
 * We suggested developing an OWASP Malaysia and Singapore outreach project that would involve a workshop, and the co-running of the Hack in the Box booth by members of both chapters.
 * I have put together a proposal where I outline a 3 day outreach initiative that aims to bring more experienced chapter leaders to the region for a workshop.
 * Read the full proposal for more information.


 * Development of Technical Project Advisor Requirements
 * This item involves the new management work flow for project reviews that was proposed for 2013.
 * Projects Review Process Proposal
 * It will involve a working group of technical project advisors headed by a member of the board.
