[Owasp-leaders] Australian journalist arrested for technology conference report

[Dennis Groves]

I first read this link,

http://www.smh.com.au/technology/security/security-experts-go-to-war-wife-targeted-20110517-1eqsm.html

I don't know the facts of this case, but that did not look very good. so I
googled the guy's name and OWASP:

http://www.google.co.uk/search?&q=Christian%20Heinrich%20OWASP

There is a lot of activity - which leads me to believe that this is a
potential 'issue' for OWASP.
I am of course suggesting that we discuss this and come to an agreement
about the course of action.
I think we are large enough now, we will need to draft a leadership policy
about how to handle such events for the future.

Cheers,
