Currently Working On

 * Active Project Audit
 * The Project Audit is now complete.
 * I reached out to every project leader listed in our inventory, and asked them to confirm the status of their project.
 * The majority of our Leaders responded, and their project activity status was marked accordingly.
 * Those that did not respond were sent 3 messages before their project was marked inactive.
 * Due to the audit, the number of active OWASP Projects in our inventory went down from 169 to 132.
 * I have also created an OWASP Project Leader Mailing List, and I added all of our confirmed active Leaders to it.
 * The next audit will take place on February 2014.

 * Projects in Salesforce
 * I worked closely with Kate this week to figure out a way to better integrate our project data into Salesforce.
 * The issue we are having is that many of the primary activities a Project Leader takes part in, happen outside of the wiki and Salesforce.
 * Moreover, project leaders do not have access to the information in Salesforce about their project.
 * This means that project leaders cannot update, add, or delete information about their projects.
 * The end result is that I have to make duplicate data lists, one in Salesforce and one in Google Docs where Leaders can have access to it.
 * Kate is looking into several applications that can help eliminate this duplication, and help with our workflow.


 * Daily Project based queries and requests
 * This has not changed much since I began the post: questions are very similar in nature.
 * Global AppSec questions.
 * Funding queries.
 * Travel availability.
 * Project based administrative help.
 * Project status information.
 * Several project donation questions.
 * Marketing questions.
 * Grant funding questions.
 * OWASP social media updates.
 * What's happening with projects, questions.
