Operations Update

The June Operations Update includes vital information about OWASP's infrastructure initiatives, project activity, and Chapters. Read it for an overview of what is happening in OWASP.


WASPY Nominations are now OPEN

It is time to help celebrate the unsung heroes of the OWASP community by nominating the members and volunteers who grow OWASP and drive innovation in the safety and security of the world’s software for a WASPY.

This year we are focusing on three categories: Community, Outreach, and Technical Innovation.

Best Community Supporter - The WASPY for COMMUNITY honors members who create dynamic INTERACTION and LEARNING opportunities for the OWASP Community. Nominees to the Community WASPY Award create collaborative and inclusive environments and grow the OWASP Community. WASPYs focus on the unsung heros of the OWASP community. Chapter Leaders and Community Members should especially consider leaders and volunteers who bring something extra to the environment, help the chapter reach out to new attendees, or carry out the tedious and repetitive tasks that make growing an OWASP Chapter possible.

Best Mission Outreach - The WASPY for Mission Outreach honors community members who help the community GROW. Growth can happen inside the larger OWASP community or outside it in the broader AppSec and development communities. Leaders and Members should especially consider volunteers who pushed the boundaries of the audience and reach of OWASP to provide new exposure for OWASP’s projects and chapters. New leaders and volunteers who help bring more people to your chapter, project, or actively represent OWASP at non-OWASP events, gatherings, and activities to build an active OWASP community are ideal candidates for the Mission Outreach WASPY award.

Best Innovator - The WASPY for Innovation is given to a community member who has contributed to the TECHNICAL advancement of OWASP in the past year. This advancement is usually through an OWASP Project and can be in the form of code, an application, or anything that materially makes the AppSec community better in a unique way. WASPYs focus on the unsung heros of the OWASP community who quietly go about making the world a bit better for their work. Project Leaders and Community Members should especially consider nominating new projects, projects that have recently graduated, and project contributors for this WASPY.

By focusing on these three categories we hope to honor those who are the heart of OWASP.


2017 Global Board of Directors Election

The Call for Candidates for the Global Board of Directors ​is now open! The OWASP Global Board of Directors is an all-volunteer board dedicated to the organizational mission which directs the strategic direction of OWASP. This year there are 4 open positions for the board.

Due to a vote on February 8th, 2017 which mandated that no board member may serve more than 2 2-year terms in a 10 year period there will be no incumbent board member up for election. To learn more about the Election and to submit your candidacy, please visit: https://www.owasp.org/index.php/2017_Global_Board_of_Directors_Election
