Andrew van der Stock, OWASP ED

In late February 2024, after receiving a few support requests, the OWASP Foundation became aware of a misconfiguration of OWASP’s old Wiki web server, leading to a data breach involving decade+-old member resumes. More details: owasp.org/blog/2024/03/2…

It's a tragedy, but we have to announce the death of our dear co-lead Walter Hop. coreruleset.org/20240218/the-o…

I'm very happy to announce that the OWASP Foundation has appointed Jason C. McDonald at the Director of Community Development. Welcome, Jason! owasp.org/blog/2024/02/1…

Today is Giving Tuesday! Please donate to OWASP if you can! If your company has a "use it or lose it" budget cycle, we also have a range of Corporate Supporter packages available, and we can generate an invoice for you for any amount. owasp.org/donate?reponam…

OWASP is hiring a Director of Community Development to focus on building our community, fundraising, and grants. Must know our or some other large open-source community. linkedin.com/hiring/jobs/37…

We published OWASP's response to the ONCD RFI on Open Source Security, mainly to do with memory-safe languages. More details: owasp.org/blog/2023/11/0… A huge thank you to all the OWASP Leaders who contributed. For media, please contact me on andrew.vanderstock@owasp.com

Dear @owasp members please remember to vote! Check your OWASP email address (or possibly your original email you signed up with) for your individual ballot. It might be in spam (use "in:all 2023 OWASP Global Board Election" as a search term).

We hit 10,000 enrolled GSuite users, which is a hard limit. We need to delete long-expired members to allow new members to get their GSuite account. If you've not renewed your OWASP membership in the last three years, renew today to keep your data. owasp.org/blog/2023/03/2…

Here is a status update for the @owasp Leaders who signed the Projects Open Letter: owasp.org/blog/2023/03/1… tl;dr The Board is working on a comprehensive strategic plan for *all* of OWASP, including projects. Hopefully, it should be done by late April with some luck.

Welcome to Friday. OWASP has a four day work week (32 hours a week). This is working really well for us. Ask me anything about the four day work week.

I am archiving all pre-2023 email. If you've not received a reply from me for an email in 2022, please re-send.

Please help support @owasp Projects such as the ASVS, Core Rule Set, Zap, and more by making a donation this Giving Tuesday giving.owasp.org

Congrats to Mark Curphey (@crashappsec), Bil Corry (@bilcorry ), and Matt Tesauro (@matt_tesauro) on being elected to the 2023 Board. Thank you to all those who voted in this year's election. I look forward to working with next year's Board on new and exciting initiatives.

@owasp OWASP Members have been emailed an email with the details of how to apply. Search for the following - the link to apply is within the email: in:all "Elections - Call for Candidates and Interview Questions Reminder" More details: owasp.org/www-board/elec…

Dear @owasp members. Please consider standing for the Board. At the moment, we have three candidates, which is insufficient for an election. I believe the best results for our community is when a diverse range of life experiences and opinions are represented. More details soon!

@HttpSecHeaders @owasped @owasp Great question Caleb - we have a bunch of resources about being in the board here: #div-induction" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">owasp.org/www-board/#div… And about the election process itself: owasp.org/www-board/elec… First takeaway, yes being on the board means a lot of reading. A ridiculous amount of reading 😆

It's time for the OWASP Temporary COVID Restriction to be relaxed and become permanent policy. Please check out the rationale and provide feedback on the draft policy: owasp.org/blog/2022/07/2…
