[Owasp-board] Eu event management resource?

Tue May 26 07:34:12 UTC 2015

Does OWASP have 2,000,000 in the bank? I think it can be afforded? Even using some of the profit from AppsecEu would work?
A business case needs to be made IMHO

Hiring this in the coming months will offload the event management / operations  from the eu conference team, so we can focus on content
