Leaders Town Hall

Fall 2018
As an open source community based on rough consensus and the contributions of Project & Chapter leaders, it's time to look forward and determine what a new and improved OWASP Foundation looks like. The Global Board and the Foundation staff can't do this in isolation - we need to engage the leaders and the broader community who have made OWASP what it is today so we can define what tomorrow will look like. Now is the time to earn your spot in this meritocracy by being a part of this effort to modernize and upgrade the OWASP Foundation

We've setup 3 different town hall meetings to gather feedback from the community. Please pick one or more of the meeting times below to make your voice heard as the community looks to chart the OWASP Foundations course for the next 10 years.
