COMMUNICATIONS


Letter from the Vice-Chairman:

Dear OWASP Community,  

I hope you are enjoying your summer, mines been pretty busy, getting married, traveling to Vegas and the board elections. August has been quite a busy month for the foundation. Attending BlackHat and DefCon as part of our outreach program, the upcoming elections ( I have to add, there were some really good questions from the community) and planning for the next two Global AppSec Conferences in September, it's been crazy. We the board would like to thank the staff and without naming any names (Jon McCoy) for their efforts during BlackHat and DefCon. I was there, on the stand, he did a good job of representing our community.

Two days prior to BlackHat and Defcon the board met as part of our second face to face meeting of the year. This was two days well spent, collaborating on some of the burning topics, but also how to move forward. At the beginning of the year, we set out our strategic goals. Even though these goals are part of our everyday OWASP life we decided to put a name against them to champion them, below are our goals and who will be championing them going forward:

Marketing - Chenxi
Membership - Ofer
Developer Outreach - Martin
Project Focus - Sherif
Improve Finances - Gary
Perception - Martin 
Process Improvement - Owen
Consistent ED - Done! 
Community Empowerment - Richard

If you are interested in getting involved in or would like to hear more about any of these strategic goals, please reach out to the relevant name above. 

Some of the Global board members will be attending both our Global AppSec Conference in Amsterdam but also in DC. We will hold our next public board meeting during the Global AppSec Conference in Amsterdam if you haven't already done so I would encourage you to both attend and spread the word of the conference. There are some great keynotes/ speakers and trainers lined up. 

Regards
Owen Pendlebury 
Vice-Chairman of the OWASP Global Board of Directors

Congratulations to the Global AppSec Tel Aviv 2019
Capture the Flag Winners

 
For two full days, 24 competitors from around the world attacked various challenges that were present within the CTF activity held at Global AppSec Tel Aviv 2019. The competition began with a handful of competitors running neck and neck with two competitors, 4lemon and vasya, at the top, slowly gathering more points in their race hoping to win it all. At the last moment, they were overtaken by Aleph who swooped in and took away the victory for himself with a total score of 29 points! 

We would like to thank all of the individuals who participated and once again, congratulations to the top 3.
1st Place Winner: Aleph (29 points)
2nd Place: 4lemon (24 points)
3rd Place: vasya (24 points)

Google Summer of Code Update

THE OWASP FOUNDATION HAS SELECTED THE TECHNICAL WRITER FOR GOOGLE SEASON OF DOCS by Fabio Cerullo

The OWASP Foundation has been accepted as the organization for the Google Seasons of Docs, a project whose goals are to give technical writers an opportunity to gain experience in contributing to open source projects and to give open-source projects an opportunity to engage the technical writing community.

During the program, technical writers spend a few months working closely with an open-source community. They bring their technical writing expertise to the project's documentation, and at the same time learn about open source and new technologies.

The open-source projects work with the technical writers to improve the project's documentation and processes. Together they may choose to build a new documentation set, or redesign the existing docs, or improve and document the open-source community's contribution procedures and onboarding experience. Together, we raise public awareness of open source docs, of technical writing, and of how we can work together to the benefit of the global open source community.

After a careful review and selection process, the OWASP Foundation has picked the primary technical writer who will work along the OWASP ZAP Team for the next 3 months to create the API documentation of this flagship project.

Congratulations to Nirojan Selvanathan!
