 * OSG - OWASP Site Generator - Join Boris in his development of the new version of .NET's OSG (funds from SPI Dynamics and Cenzic membership fees)
 * OWASP Corporate Application Security Rating Guide - Create and release the first version of this very important document ( funds from Cenzic membership fees)
 * Questions for SANS - Write 200 questions for SANS with a % of those questions made open to the OWASP community (funds directly allocated by SANS for this project)
 * Source Code Review OWASP Projects - Implement a workflow where all OWASP projects that use JAVA technology are automatically audited for security flaws (funds directly allocated by Fortify Software for this project)
