Currently Working On

 * Staff Summit 2013: New York City, USA
 * The majority of the OWASP Staff met for 4 days in New York city for a week long staff working summit.
 * Topics covered include: global marketing, international accounting, SalesForce, project lifecycle, project marketing, chapter funds, etc.
 * A visual workflow for the projects lifecycle was discussed and outlined.
 * Project funds allocation guidelines were discussed.
 * Operational set up in SalesForce for projects was discussed and planned.


 * Projects in SalesForce
 * All existing project meta data has been entered into SalesForce.
 * Currently, I am working on developing the projects dashboard and reporting work flow within SalesForce.
 * Kate and I discussed an organisational structure within SalesForce that we can build and use to manage our projects.
 * SalesForce portals were discussed as a long term solution for our project leaders, project initiative job management, and user data.
 * Short term solution is to create an efficient workflow for me to manage all of this data while our portals are being developed.


 * Project Lifecycle Info-graphic
 * The Ops Team had a long discussion about the project lifecycle, and the visualisation of that information.
 * I wanted to be sure my doodles would make sense to individuals unfamiliar with the process.
 * Several adjustments were made based on team feedback.
 * I am sourcing different design agencies for an info-graphic quote.


 * Internal Marketing Plan
 * The Ops Team had a long discussion about our marketing needs, marketing relationships, and deliverables.
 * We went through each line item and discussed the deliverable in details.
 * The outcome was a list of deliverables that have been approved, require adjustments, or that require a complete re-work.
 * Our list has been communicated to the Marketing company hired to create our deliverables.


 * 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.
