--VerSprite 03:35, 27 April 2009 (UTC)Thanks to all of those who attended our 2nd meeting at GT. Special thanks to Rob Ragan for his presentation on Filter Evasion Techniques and to Shauvik Choudhary for helping to organize the event at GT and for Keith Watson for his help in getting things set up for the attendees. For those that couldn't make it, please check out the slides that are available under the Chapter Meetings tab below and in the Past Meetings section. Our next scheduled event will also be in the form of a workshop but will be on a weekday, in the evening. Mark your calendars for June 3rd for a hands on training of the OWASP Live CD. If you have never put the CD to full use, now is your chance to roll up your sleeves and get your hands a bit dirty. The focus of the workshop will revolve our WebScarab and WebGoat, but we'll also explore the many other tools that are available on the OWASP Live CD. Until our next meeting, spread the word on OWASP and get involved. Get online on our own IRC channel (#owasp-atlanta on EfNet) and stay in touch with leaders and other members for a free for all discussion on mostly security related topics, but OT topics have been known to be introduced. Last, if you have a job and your employer is looking to be a financial contributor to an organization that can benefit the greater Atlanta security community as well as their own security efforts, please let us know.

Call for Case Studies
As many of you know, we are steering OWASP-Atlanta to crank out some meaningful case studies with metrics. As part of the planning that goes into this, we have spoken to a few organizations that have expressed interest in gaining our expertise on an array of security topics that revolve around web application security. On our part, we need to formalize our A-Team in order to see who would be available for which types of case-study genres. If you are interested in partaking on this team, please let me know. You can reach me at tonyuv [at] versprite [dot] com. --VerSprite 19:24, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
