Currently Working On

 * OWASP Project Leaders: Brand Usage Guidelines
 * I have begun developing brand usage guidelines for our project leaders with Jim Manico's help.
 * We have decided to use the Apache Software Foundation's documentation on the subject as a guide for our own.
 * We feel they developed excellent material, and we plan to use their guidelines as a starting point.
 * I spent this week putting together our OWASP Project Leader Brand Usage Guidelines.
 * I plan to propose this to the community and the Board come next week.
 * OWASP Project Leader Brand Usage Guidelines.


 * Project Leader Responsibilities & Expectations
 * I have finished putting together documentation that outlines a project leader's responsibilities, and our foundation's expectations of them.
 * This document was written to help project leaders understand their responsibilities as managers of their project(s).
 * The first draft is now complete: Project Leader Responsibilities
 * I plan to propose this to the community and the Board come next week.


 * Project Wiki Templates
 * I am working towards developing new wiki templates for our OWASP Projects.
 * Leaders have expressed frustrations with our current templates as they are not very user friendly.
 * Our PLs also need to let our consumers know at which stage a project is in within our OWASP Projects Infrastructure.
 * Development is ongoing.


 * Project Leader Cheat Sheet
 * I am currently developing a "How to run a successful OWASP Project" document.
 * I hope this document will help project leaders understand how to best leverage the OWASP Project Infrastructure for success.
 * This is an ongoing project.
 * I will have a first draft of this completed by the end of next week.


 * Sales Force for Projects
 * Kate and I have been working together on Sales Force for Projects.
 * Currently, we have all of the existing project metadata updated into our Sales Force system.
 * We are exploring options for PLs to update their project information without my assistance.
 * We are also exploring options that will help PLs use Sales Force for project management, budget tracking, and resource tracking.
 * We came to the conclusion that Sales Force Portals are the best option.
 * Kate is looking into logistics for Portals.


 * Daily Project based queries and requests

 * Global AppSec questions.
 * Funding queries.
 * Travel availability.
 * Project based administrative help.

 * Several project donations questions.
 * OWASP LinkedIn Updates.
 * What's happening with projects, questions.
