[Mark Bristow]

OWASP Leaders,

The Call for Papers for the OWASP Track at Global AppSec AsiaPac (Friday
13th and Saturday 14th of April 2012 in Sydney Australia) is now open.
OWASP leaders with interesting projects/activities can submit here:
 https://docs.google.com/a/owasp.org/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dHB4VGJPWmV5cUxBRmJuY1pETklrcEE6MQ<https://docs.google.com/a/owasp.org/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dHB4VGJPWmV5cUxBRmJuY1pETklrcEE6MQ>
.  *The CFP for will close on Feburary 15th 2012*.

*Submissions must:*

   - Be about active OWASP Projects or activities
   - Be in a 50 Minute or 15 Minute format (final schedule will be
   determined in conjunction with the event)
   - Authors must agree to the OWASP Speaker
Agreement<https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Speaker_Agreement>
   - Comply to the applicable Global Conference Committee
Policies<https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Global_Conference_Committee_Policies>
(related
   to all events & speakers)
   - Be OWASP branded, no company templates (presenters must limit mention
   of their employer to a company logo on the concluding slide of their
   presentation)

*Recommendations:*

   - Presentations that provide a link to a recording of previous presenter
   performance will be scored significantly higher
   - Presentations on active projects will be scored higher
   - Some projects will be determined as once OWASP wants to highlight so
   new project leaders should not be discouraged if they have great
   presentation skills

The OWASP Track initiative, jointly led by the Global Conferences
Committee<https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Global_Conferences_Committee>
and
the Global Projects
Committee<https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Global_Projects_Committee>,
is a new effort to help OWASP promote our projects and activities at our
own major conferences. The goal of this track is to highlight and promote
OWASP and offer our leaders a chance to showcase their activities. As such
this is a different CFP than one typically issued, submissions should
highlight a particular OWASP project or activity that is important to the
community at large. The joint GCC/GPC program committee will be judging
these submissions on a variety of factors, including project/activity
maturity, strategic value to OWASP, relevance to the event audience, and
past presentation performance. We intend to highlight brand new projects
and activities along with established ones, so new project leaders should
not be discouraged from applying! Keep in mind though that we are looking
for polished presentations so it will help your submission if you can
demonstrate that your project/activity has made recent strides in improving
quality.    There are limited OWASP funds to support travel for selected
presenters, we will ask that presenters first solicit funding from their
employers for travel to the event.*

Presenters that perform well in their OWASP Track talk will be invited to
join the OWASP Speakers
Group<https://www.owasp.org/index.php/OWASP_Speakers_Group>
.
Regards,
Global Conferences Committee, Mark Bristow, Chair
