Local News
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)

Until our next meeting, spread the word on OWASP and get involved. From financial contributions or soliciting sponsorship to your current or former employers, please get involved. Your participation fuels the ongoing success of future events and workshops. Ultimately, all of our efforts benefit the greater Atlanta security community.

Last, put your money where your time is. Support your local chapter with a formal membership to a great non-profit organization aimed to elevate web application security. Please note that other chapters have the luxury to charge their members for attending some of their meetings. We hope that you find historical and future meetings to be of value and show support via a member based contribution. To contribute to OWASP-Atlanta, go here: Atlanta Georgia
