Currently Working On

 * Black Hat EU 2013
 * I attended the Black Hat EU conference this week.
 * I helped set up and manage our OWASP Booth for two days.
 * I was also able to attend the Netherlands Chapter meeting.
 * Martin Knobloch, Dennis Groves, and Anil Pazvant volunteered at the event as well.
 * For more details, please read my Black Hat EU 2013 Post Conference Report.


 * OWASP University Challenge & CTF at Global AppSecs
 * Martin Knobloch and I were able to meet and talk about how to bring University Challenge and the Capture the Flag event modules to AppSec EU Research, USA, and Latam.
 * There were some concerns over space availability for these event modules.
 * We proposed having the OSS, CTF, and University Challenge event modules share a room.
 * We are waiting to hear back from Dirk regarding logistics.


 * OWASP at Hack in the Box: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
 * I had the fantastic opportunity to meet with the CEO of Hack in the Box, Mr. Dhillon Kannabhiran.
 * We spoke about a possible partnership between OWASP and Hack in the Box.
 * We currently have a booth for the Amsterdam event, and I negotiated a booth for us at the Kuala Lumpar, Malaysia event as well.
 * Logistics are currently being developed and planned.


 * OWASP Asia Leadership Outreach Project
 * This Asia Leadership Outreach Project came about during the discussion Dhillon and I had about OWASP at the Kuala Lumpar, Hack in the Box event.
 * He mentioned that he has offered OWASP a booth at the Kuala Lumpar, Hack in the Box event for a few years.
 * However, the local OWASP chapter volunteers have not been able to represent OWASP very well at his conference.
 * We suggested developing an OWASP Malaysia and Singapore outreach project that would involve a workshop, and the co-running of the Hack in the Box booth by members of both chapters.
 * Dhillon agreed that developing a workshop with more experienced leaders giving primary direction, will help the Malaysian and Singaporean chapters understand their responsibilities at similar outreach events.
 * I am currently putting together a proposal for this project.

 * Project based administrative help.
 * Project status information.
 * Several project donations questions.
 * OWASP LinkedIn Updates.
