New Activity

 * OWASP Media Project - Want to broadcast to the world or your chapter? This project has all the resources and info to get you moving. See the list of items already on the OWASP Global Youtube Channel and instructions here
 * Did you also knew that these subscribers would have received notice of the live event when they go to YouTube, thus giving you more view? Same goes for the recorded version.
 * Did you know that we can easily feature it on owasp.org front page using the channel?
 * And more importantly, did you knew that using OWASP official channel is the same as having your own channel, only that you have to switch account to page in Google? The only difference it would make is the name next to the video, it would be "OWASP".
