Currently Working On

 * SourceForge Update
 * Audrey from Geeknet has responded to me.
 * The Geeknet team has decided not to accept any of our options, see below:
 * 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.
 * However, they did deduct $2500 from the original invoice: Update Geeknet Invoice.
 * We have agreed to take this deduction, and are currently processing their payment.


 * OWASP Licenses Update
 * I drafted the e-mail Justin asked me to put together regarding the three projects with non open source licenses.
 * I have sent it to all GPC members.
 * I have made the changes as well: Letter.
 * Lets discuss how we want to handle this.

Announcements

 * 1) ModSecurity Proposal grant writing is in progress.
 * 2) SourceForge: They have responded. They decided to decline both options proposed by OWASP, but they have deducted $2500 from the original bill. We are currently processing the new invoice.
 * 3) AppSec APAC 2013: Call for Entries for the Open Source Showcase & OWASP Projects Track will be launched again. Justin, Sam and possibly Nishi and Keith will attend.
 * 4) Part-Time Project Support Volunteer Role for Guidebook Projects: Final applicant count was 14. I am currently processing the applications, and will allocate roles come next week.
 * 5) FOSDEM: the application for a stand was submitted this week. If we get the stand, Seba and Martin K. will manage it for OWASP.
 * 6) Nishi: Will touch base with Matt Tesauro regarding the wiki file size requirement.
 * 7) Question for Justin: Have you spoken to James Greenberg from AppSec Labs? Have they come to a decision regarding their license choice, and whether they are choosing to continue as an OWASP Project?
 * 8) Question: Do we have criteria that measures whether a project is active or not?: Answer: OpsTeam is working on creating an e-mail through Salesforce that will ask all current 'Active' project leaders to give us a status update. Additionally, it will give them an opportunity to update their information.
 * 9) Active Project Criteria: We discussed the idea of requiring project leaders to send us an update every six months, or annually. The aim is to make sure a project is still active.
 * 10) Project Update required information would be something along the lines of: Update the wiki with links and announcements, summary of what you have accomplished, summary of your future plans.
