[Global_conference_committee] FIRST and OWASP relations

[Mark Bristow]

Ralph,

I'm not too concerned that all their content isn't open, that's a tall order
for an organization to meet.  I think however they do make much
of their content available to the community.  I think it's at least worth
exploring.
