=CURRENTLY WORKING ON=


 * Staff Summit
 * We spent the majority of the week at the 2014 staff summit retreat.
 * All of us traveled into San Francisco for the working summit.
 * We spent the majority of our time there discussing operational topics, and moving several initiatives forward.
 * In the end, it was a very productive working session.
 * For Projects, we brainstormed different engagement ideas, and we discussed how to move forward with project funding.


 * Project Funding Guidelines
 * Al the staff summit, we discussed the different project funding guidelines I put together for our Leaders.
 * They are meant to be a set of 'rules of engagement' for applicants.
 * The other more important aim is to help leaders organize their proposals so their funding requests are successful.
 * I hope to have these updated on the OWASP Funding page by next week.


 * Project Summit 2014 Planning
 * I am working with Adrian and the local Cambridge team to sort out logistics for the 2014 Summit.
 * It will be taking place June 23rd and June 24th in Cambridge, UK.
 * I am currently working on getting the room arrangements and equipment set up for the Summit.
 * I am also working closely with the team to sort out catering for our attendees.


 * Women in AppSec: AppSec APAC 2014
 * I continue to work with Laura, Robert, and the AppSec APAC 2014 planning team on the Women in AppSec Program.
 * We had the funds available to send one winner to the conference so we began with the call for applicants sooner than expected.
 * We now have 4 women that have submitted their applications to be considered for the award.
 * We have decided to extend the deadline until March 7th.
 * We hope to get at least 10 applicants this year.

 * Project based administrative help.
 * Project status information.
 * Several project donation questions.
 * Marketing questions.
 * Grant funding questions.
 * OWASP social media updates.

Project Review Assistance Required
Hello Leaders,

We are still in need of more survey results. We would like to ask that you take a bit of time to fill in a short survey that we will use to assess the Usability and Value of each project to its users and the community.

You can find the assessment survey here: Project Usability and Value Assessment

Below are the projects we are currently focusing on assessing:

Please note that this is only one part of the full assessment for each project. The more responses we can get for each project, the better. Please only complete the assessment if you are familiar with the project, or if you have time to familiarize yourself with the project. Thank you to those of you who have submitted your responses. Your assistance is very much appreciated.
 * OWASP Cheat Sheets Project
 * OWASP Java HTML Sanitizer Project
 * Xenotix XSS Exploit Framework: Only need 5 more surveys.
 * OWASP Cornucopia Project

 * All OWASP Flagship Projects

Please reach out to me if you have any questions.

Thank you for your assistance, Leaders.
