Atlanta Georgia

Latest News
Great few meetings thus far in 2011 with many more cool things to come. Part of what is on deck is virtual meetings, more workshops, and web application security pros who know how to get to the detail of issues that matter most.

We're on a little summer break due to all of the cons that are going on. We will resume meetings in August where we begin the after summer break with a talk on Mobile App Security and Web App Sec implications - an event not to miss. Stay tuned for more.

FYI - We are trying to reach out to more developers, quality assurance engineers, and software architects so if you have colleagues in those areas, please invite them to come. For next meeting information, please visit the Chapter Meetings tab and RSVP in the link provided.

Staying in Touch
There is an OWASP Atlanta Linkedin Group. For those addicted to LinkedIn, we have a group you can further feed your addiction. The OWASP Atlanta Chapter. http://www.linkedin.com/groups?home=&amp;gid=1811960&amp;trk=anet_ug_hm

The Atlanta mailing list provides a low volume update to monthly events and also allows for members to post questions related to challenges in using and adopting OWASP related material/ tools.
