[OWASP-Switzerland] OWASP and RSA Conference - OWASP pulls out of training

[Alexis FitzGerald]

Hi All

Representatives from OWASP were due to give secure code training at the
upcoming RSA conference. However, in view of the alleged links between
RSA and the NSA, a big debate took place on the OWASP leader mailing
list. In the end, OWASP decided to pull  out of the training.
