 * We have now developed the forms in Salesforce.
 * Currently, I am in the process of finalising the forms.


 * Project Support Volunteer Role Development
 * Samantha put together a role description for a part-time project support volunteer.
 * This role was developed to help the 3 Guidebook projects with project support duties.
 * Please see the Volunteer Job Description Document for more details.
 * We are looking for 3 separate volunteers that will be responsible for the same role.
 * Each volunteer will be responsible for project support duties for one project.


 * SourceForge Update
 * Jason, Kate and Samantha attended a meeting with the Geeknet team.
 * We let them know that we will be ending our contract.
 * We discussed the possibility of proposing alternative payment options with them.
 * They agreed to review our proposal.
 * Jason, Kate, and Samantha agreed on two alternative payment options.
 * Samantha drafted a response to the Geeknet Team, outlining our options.
 * Option 1: OWASP would like to propose that Geeknet waive either all or a percentage of the invoice fee, and redistribute the funds as a donation to the OWASP Foundation.
 * Option 2: OWASP would like to propose a 1 year corporate membership, and a 6 month online rotating banner advertisement in exchange for $10,000 being deduction from the Invoice in question. Total value: $17,500 in OWASP Services.


 * Project Processes Development
 * Putting the handbook aside until these are fleshed out and agreed to.
