New York University - I work for the IT department as a Web App  
Specialist serving as a tech lead for several projects and leading the  
app sec efforts in our group. NYU is a very large university now with  
a campus in Abu Dhabi and satellite schools all over the world so I  
would definitely consider this an enterprise.

I think our community has done great reaching out to the technical  
audience but our efforts will not make a significant impact until we  
reach out to the geek's bosses boss and the managers that make the  
final decision right? We need to do a better job reaching out to the  
right decision makers and getting their support. We also need to  
organize ourselves better and follow the example of similar open  
communities and continue to leverage the fact that we are an open  
group and join forces with other open source and academic  
communities.  See for example, the value the IT industry has gained  
from other open source communities.

I also believe we need keep expanding globally, for example do a  
better job in latin american countries. Because I am fluent in Spanish  
and Portuguese I feel that I don't only represent the U.S. since I  
live here but I represent other countries as well.

I am more of a builder turning more and more into a breaker
