All, In 2010 we'll be implementing a Program Committee within the Chapter. I propose the following charter for the program committee:
Actively shepherd speakers and and speaking process within the NoVA chapter in order to assure that chapter meetings provide maximum practical benefit to our constituency. Benefit the broader OWASP community by creating and supporting a 'preferred speaker' list through explicitly gauging, documenting, and sharing speaker quality data gained through feedback from chapter participants. In pursuit of this charter, we will elect as many as five program committee members that will, over the course of 2010: * Create easy-to-apply vetting criteria from existing OWASP chapter guidance and ethics rules. * Assure one program committee personnel applies vetting criteria to each-and-every proposed chapter speaker/material * Design, document, and implement a chapter participant "speaker survey" / voting mechanism * Implement a "speaker survey" results display on the OWASP Wiki for the broader OWASP community to consume * Coordinate with other chapters to set up a 'preferred speaker' list that aggregates data about high-scoring speakers (for the OWASP on-the-move project) Several people have communicated interest in serving on the program committee but I wanted to open things up to the group and solicit through email as well. Please contact me if you'd like to serve. If I receive more than 5 respondents, we'll make decisions about how to handle the situation as necessary. -jOHN _______________________________________________ Owasp-wash_dc_va mailing list [email protected] https://lists.owasp.org/mailman/listinfo/owasp-wash_dc_va
