I've got the license setup. I have a few concerns about the donating the project part. I'd still like to retain some rights and come up with a structure that works to both Coderbounty, Inc.'s benefit and OWASP mutually. I think the points Johanna mentioned work perfectly and we can consider those on the roadmap. If we can work this out harmoniously then let's move forward!

Hi All,

I think the best next step is for me to submit the project. I'll send out a google doc and feel free to chip in.

In essence, you can consider Johanna's recent points as part of the Coderbounty roadmap. The project is now AGPL 3.0 and we're making progress every day.

Thanks,

Sean

Technically we can out of the gate right.. there is $500 allocated to new projects (and retro to any project without a balance currently) and on milestones on achieving next level (sounds like gamification grin)  etc.. so funding is not difficult. 

The other part is the management of the activities.  Does OWASP want to manage their own service like what Sean is suggesting and OWN the process task a staff member(s) to run it OR is paying 10% to a 3rd party the cost of doing business and cheap and gives OWASP new exposure to bug hunting developers. Both models have value.

Funding

Backed up by Oct 14th Board Vote on Projects and Chapters

Therefor 2016 is about execution with a 80% plan.. we will have to debate and work out the other 20% but that is OK everyone wants to see success here not failure, chaos or infighting. Finally the amounts regardless of 500, 5000, 50000 are simply placeholders and everything is open to discussion.  

Example you have a amazing concept, you ask for $1000 from each chapter * X chapters + the initial $500 + you do some crowdsourcing exercises MONEY is not a problem -- what we need solid advancement of the mission and that comes with innovation and experimentation.


I always admired: https://www.owasp.org/index.php/OWASP_Initiatives_Global_Strategic_Focus as a concept for requesting help and getting it..  (see current help requests - http://owasp.force.com/volunteers/GW_Volunteers__VolunteersJobListing simply adding a bounty to them would be in concept what we are talking about.. but we need move of a visual interface) 

Off to XMAS Shopping hohoho ;)

I think this looks really interesting.
I did try bountysource, but in the end I was using it to pay an existing contributor which means in reality I was just throwing away 10% of the money.
However I can definitely see the value for attracting new contributors and allowing customers to increase the rewards (and therefore hopefully the likelihood of someone fixing) issues they care about.
Maybe OWASP could actually cover some of the fees for labs projects and more of the fees for flagship projects? That would be a real benefit for projects and an incentive to get a project promoted.

Cheers,

Simon

*nod* I agree.  The value has to be determined and if it is a OWASP Foundation managed service (by the business) as part of the platform for the world the charity serves as well as from the individual volunteers that want to get things done on projects they are working on..  There are two perspectives and workflows in some cases 

After doing a quick search provides examples of others trying out the concept:  https://www.bountysource.com/search?query=owasp and I have a few projects and will throw out some in BOTH systems to try them out and experiment.

@Tom: as  project leader I think I have the choice to decide if I want to run a bounty through this platform or any other using the money that ha sheen set available for OWASP projects. 

My perspective on this is from a project leader. What is my benefit from using this platform instead of bountysource.com or hackerone for example?

Keep in mind Johanna/All that this concept was discussed 12/7 and Sean
as a Brooklyn Chapter Leader is willing to adjust his code and make a
project out of it.. so the current state is before that.  The concept
of simply getting the monies that are "ring fenced" following in the
community via projects or chapters is the spirit of the discussion.

We have to be agile, tactical and see the big picture here with if
general rough concensous likes the concept we give it a try and
experiment --- that is OWASP.
