[Owasp-leaders] Project Idea - Seeking Feedback (and interested leader to take it)

[Michael Coates]

Project Idea: OWASP Library

It would be fantastic if we had an easy to navigate portion of the wiki that contained a series of ready to use presentations.  These presentations would all follow a similar format and have a consistent OWASP theme.

The goal?  Provide a repository of presentations that can be quickly used by any OWASP leader to present on the core application security topics to a new developer group.  Initially, this would be the 100 level series of presentations - basics of application security, introduction to OWASP Top 10, intro to XSS, access control, etc.


The overall goal is to tackle the issue of reaching out to new developers and non-security folks AT SCALE.  The more items that we as OWASP leaders (and experienced security professionals) can streamline, the easier it is for the rest of the world to leverage our training materials to make an impact to distributed groups of people.


Thoughts?  Anyone interested in championing this idea?


Logistics -
Yes, we have this page with a bunch of presentations - https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Category:OWASP_Presentations

Maybe that's a good place to start.  But it needs some love.  I'm envisioning searchable tags, a nicer UI, maybe even a recommended set of presentations based on audience (e.g. students may be interested in XSS and app sec basics)



(BTW, I'm still working on the security101 mailing list for those interested.  Just ironing out the nuisances of trying to support both mailman and google groups - stay tuned on that)
