Hello OWASP ! ! !
It is with great pleasure and pride that I'm officially launching
today the OWASP
European Summit 2008
This is an event 100% focused on OWASP and will have the highest
concentration of OWASPers per square meter (OWASP is flying 80+ of its
Leaders and key contributors to Portugal). If you ever wanted to be more
involved with OWASP or wanted to know more about certain OWASP projects,
this Summit is for you. Please join us in Portugal and help to 'Set the
AppSec Agenda for 2009'.
I would like to personally acknowledge the work done by an amazing team of
OWASP collaborators that have been working non stop for the past 3 months on
everything related to the Summit's organization: Thank You! (and if you
want to be involved, please join asap this great OWASP virtual team)
Below is the official Press Release containing detailed information about
the Summit's organization and objectives.
Obtaining media visibility for our events is an historical challenge for
OWASP. It would be great if you could help us by personally distributing
this Press Release to your media contacts and influential bloggers.
Looking forward to seeing you all in Portugal :)

*PRESS RELEASE: OWASP European Summit - Portugal*
*Portugal/Algarve - 4th - 7th November 2008*
Setting the Web Application Security Agenda for 2009: OWASP Invites You to
Join Our Summit in Portugal<http://www.owasp.org/index.php/OWASP_EU_Summit_2008>
http://www.owasp.org/index.php/OWASP_EU_Summit_2008
With the theme 'Setting the AppSec agenda for 2009', the OWASP Summit will
be a worldwide gathering of OWASP leaders and key industry players to
present and discuss the latest OWASP tools, documentation projects, and web
application security trends. Join us in Portugal in just a few short weeks!
This venue hosts a diverse selection of training courses along with
technical and business tracks, making it THE place to learn about web
application security and the resources OWASP has available for use today.
OWASP is a not-for-profit organization with the purpose of supporting the
Web Application Security community around the world, and has granted
$250,000 USD for web application security research. In addition to over 40
presentations from the OWASP Leaders and grant recipients, the OWASP Summit
will host multiple Working Sessions designed to improve collaboration,
achieve specific objectives and identify roadmaps for OWASP projects,
chapters, and the OWASP community itself.
To facilitate this event, OWASP is investing $150,000 USD which will be used
to cover air travel and accommodation expenses for OWASP leaders, active
contributors, and select key industry leaders. With their confirmed
presence, the OWASP Summit will provide a relaxed but professional
environment to meet, discuss, influence and contribute to OWASP projects.
There are still funds available! If you are interested in attending and you
meet the profile of the current OWASP supported attendees (see list here:
http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pAX6n7m2zaTVLrPtR07riBA) contact
Paulo Coimbra (paulo.coimbra@owasp.org). Please note that you should do so
only if you meet the paid attendance criteria (see here

and are unable to get corporate support to attend this event (for other

The OWASP Summit will also host a large and diverse selection of training
courses, covering multiple OWASP specific and Web Application Security

The remarkable impact of OWASP is made possible only by the collaboration of
many dedicated people and organizations worldwide. In that spirit of
