[Owasp-board] Vote Required

Tue Sep 29 00:00:24 UTC 2009

opps, I just blogged and twitted about this
http://diniscruz.blogspot.com/2009/09/owasp-internals-guidelines-for-owasp.htmlbut
just realized that we only had two votes so far: mine and Jeff (I
thought Seba and Tom had already voted)
Tom, Seba or Dave, can one of you vote of this so that this is official and
I (or Kate) can send it to the owasp-leaders list :)
