[Owasp-board] Fwd: [Owasp-leaders] To advertise the launch of OWASP Summer of Code2008

Fri Feb 29 17:52:38 UTC 2008

Dinis,

I don’t want to encourage membership money to be directed, but I want to
offer that as an option. I would personally prefer undirected OWASP
membership money as that gives us the freedom to use it as we best see fit.
I also don’t want SoC 08 to be so big we can’t manage it properly.

I think its reasonable to ask people to contribute ideas though and so I
think soliciting that is a good idea.

Fortify has already directed their $ to an ESAPI project. Jeff knows the
details.

-Dave

Wow, this is much better than I expected, the number of new members (both
personal and corporate) are finally starting to be 'not embarrassing small'
(like they were in the past). We need to make this information more public.

Couple things:

  - We should include on the newsletter the names of the new members (with a
thank you note). Anybody has a problem with us posting this information in
there?
  - We should also have a page with the current OWASP individual members,
since most of those members would really appreciate that (especially if we
include in there the 'date of joining'), Regarding privacy, everything at
OWASP is open so if somebody wants to be a member but doesn't want their
name published they should sign up with a fake name, is that fair?
  - Paulo, following our previous public statements on the direct allocation
of membership fees to Season of Code projects, for the SoC 08, can you
contact (individually (i.e. individual emails)) the direct OWASP contact of
the new/renewed members (3000 USD and up) and ask them if they have any
OWASP project (or idea) that they would like they memberships fees to be
allocated to (for example I would expect Cigital to allocate their fees to
the CLASP project, Fortify to allocate their funding to the management of
the scanning of OWASP tools using the Fortify and Coverity software, EBay
might want to sponsor the next version of the OWASP top 10, etc...).  I
don't expect all to respond, but for the ones that do, that amount should be
added to the 100k USD (remember that the more companies allocate their
budgets to SoC 08, the easier it gets to convince other companies to join
OWASP and allocated they membership fees to projects they are interested in)
