[Owasp-board] FW: OWASP and Microsoft partnership presentation

[Jeff Williams]

Hi,

Dave and I met with Mark and Katie recently to discuss how OWASP and
Microsoft can work together. They're considering significant contribution of
resources (MSDN documentation, etc...) to OWASP that we would make 'open'
and build consensus around. Mark is going to try to get this going.

You'll see in the presentation a mention of a 'Board of Advisors' which is
something I think we should put together ASAP, independent of this
relationship with Microsoft.  I'm imagining a ~10 person board with
representatives from:

* Vendors (Microsoft, Adobe, Sun)
* End Users (DTCC, Financial X, Utility Y)
* Major Internet (EBay, Google, ?)

The board responsibilities would be to provide guidance on direction and
project funding, introduction/encouragement with major members/users,
support and advertising, advocacy, etc... quarterly meetings?

Mark and Katie,

Dave and I put together the attached deck to capture the conversation we had
here at OWASP HQ. We're looking forward to putting the plan into effect.
Please let me know if there is anything we can do to help get this idea
approved at Microsoft.

Thanks for your support of OWASP!
