ONGOING PROJECTS AND EFFORTS

1. GIC Surveys – one already created by Eoin Keary, to be posted and then compiled on Survey Monkey. Second, proposed by Rex Booth to compile industry metrics.

2. Large scale outreach – working sessions/discussion groups with people from pre-determined verticals at the various appsec conferences. Also, outreach at non-traditional OWASP conferences . What can we use to spread the OWASP word? NK working on PP presentation.

3. Continue discussion on how to better engage with orgs/corps that have closed their doors to owasp in the past. Without signing an NDA, how can we work with them? Also, what can we offer in terms of sponsorship opportunities that will be more alluring to them?
