OWASP Project Committee |
project-committee |
Help all OWASP Projects to succeed |
true |
To provide the support and guidance required by Projects to thrive and contribute to the overall mission and goals of OWASP.
The Project Committee intends to address these key problems:
- Currently, project management is a hard and sometimes tiring job
- Many projects do not feel sufficiently supported by OWASP
As one of the three legs that support OWASP (Foundation, Chapters and Projects), Projects are a critical part of moving the OWASP mission forward. The Project Committee's purpose is to help ensure that the quality, lifecycle, and teams are supported as per the Project Committee Scope.
- Promote project activity, and provide mentorship and guidance to project leads and team members.
- Maintain the project lifecycle within OWASP, including working with staff to improve procedures, and documenting guidelines in an updated or re-written Project Handbook.
- Work with OWASP projects and establish any processes to assist projects to achieve flagship level status, including deleting, revising, or establishing a project review process
- Evangelize OWASP projects publicly, including working with outside projects to become OWASP projects.
- Provide first level dispute resolution for projects, which can be escalated to the Dispute Resolution process or in severe cases, the Foundation, Compliance Committee, or Board.
- Work with the Foundation to build operational automation and provide managed shared infrastructure for projects.
- Advise the Board or Foundation on relevant bylaws or policy changes.
