[Owasp-board] Added a number of 'Vote Required' items for today's meeting (including a new one which you should take a quick look)

Mon Jun 7 13:58:34 UTC 2010

Please take a look at http://www.owasp.org/index.php/June_7,_2010 and update
with other items you want to talk at today's call

>From the ones I added, you should be aware (ready to vote) of all but one.

The new one is the *"**Proposal to operationalise OWASP ‘Chapter-lead’
Training activities and the concept of ‘OWASP Academies’"* which you can
read more details at the agenda page (or below).

I was going to bring this earlier but I didn't want to take away your focus
from the other issues I raised recently (like the 'OWASP Commercial
Services').

I expect this to be an easy decision for you since a) we have the budget and
b) the 'OWASP Chapter-Lead Training model' is starting work quite nicely
(but needs an injection of energy and focus)

See you in a couple hours

concept of ‘OWASP Academies’

*Activities:*

   - Main focus on:

         materials developed by successful deliveries of OWASP
‘Chapter-lead’ events
      - Establishment of working relationships with ‘OWASP friendly’
      Universities:
         - starting with the OWASP Chapter-lead training courses, but with a
         view to evolve those courses into OWASP ‘Academies’
      - Negotiate potential sponsorship opportunities for the OWASP
      ‘Chapter-lead’ events

         Oct/Nov 2010 (with US trainers)

      Training materials and the development of the ‘OWASP Academies concept’
