Good morning, The OWASP (http://www.owasp.org/) organization is engaged in an effort to lower the barriers for developers to become more aware of how to test for and defend against vulnerabilities in the software they're creating. I attended an OWASP conference a few years ago in Seattle, it was well worth the time. If you're at all interested in web application security from a developer's point of view, the offer (a full ride sponsorship to go the OWASP AppSec USA 2010 conference) below is a good deal.
-- Howard Fore, howard.f...@hofo.com "Corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until the wealth is aggregated in the hands of a few, and the Republic is destroyed." - President Abraham Lincoln, Nov 21, 1864 ---------- Forwarded message ---------- *From:* Tony UV [mailto:ton...@owasp.org] *Sent:* Thursday, August 19, 2010 12:29 AM *To:* 'owasp-atla...@lists.owasp.org' *Subject:* Calling all ATL Developers - Free Con Entrance *Importance:* High All, Thanks to all who were able to make it out to the August meeting with Dinis Cruz, global OWASP Lead. Turnout was a bit low given the impromptu nature of the meeting, however feedback was positive on Dinis presentation of the O2 framework . As soon as Dinis finishes the final touches on the deck, I’ll be posting to the ATL chapter site (see below in my signature in case you don’t have it bookmarked already). OWASP AppSec CA is taking place in a matter of weeks and I was planning to make an announcement last week, but I was traveling on business. Regardless, AppSec Conference in Irvine, CA is taking place in early September and we are looking for developers to take to the conference – for free. That’s right – as part of a global OWASP initiative to ‘Bring a Developer to a Security Con’, we are paying the way for developers to learn more about secure coding for web applications and partake more in the local ATL chapter, as well as socialize the group’s efforts with other developer colleagues. As part of this initiative, the following requirements must be met: - Full time development of web applications for a major company in the Atlanta area - 5+ years of development experience, namely for web applications (no wannabe developers) - Active participation of all training and presentation events at the conference (not a free visit to Grandma in Irvine, CA) - Brief description of who you are, why you should be selected and if you have clearance to attend between the dates of Sept 7th to Sept 10th Spread the word and please write me directly if you are a developer and may be interested in attending. Full con details are found here: http://www.owasp.org/index.php/AppSec_US_2010,_CA.
