Autumn of Code 2006 • The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) has recently launched a new project entitled "OWASP Autumn of Code 2006” that is aimed at financially sponsoring contributions to OWASP Projects. • On the 18th of September our call for entries ended and on the 25th of September we released our list of selected projects to be sponsored. OWASP has made the decision to sponsor 9 projects (5 at $3,500 USD and 4 at $5,000 USD) instead of our originally planned number of 8.

  12. OWASP Membership • An active voice in the development of OWASP Materials that are becoming widely accepted as an application security standard for all organizations. • A OWASP Commercial License to use the materials within your organization without the restrictions associated with the various open source licenses used by the OWASP projects. • Timely electronic notification of updates to the OWASP Materials. • Visibility for your organization's tangible commitment to application security through its inclusion in the members list on the OWASP website and promotional materials. • The right to use the OWASP name and membership mark to show that you are an OWASP Member. Note that the mark must not be used in any way that might indicate that OWASP supports a commercial product or service. • Collaboration with other highly skilled people from organizations around the world, both virtually and in person during periodic OWASP AppSec conferences and chapter meetings. • Discounted registration fees for OWASP AppSec conferences to all individual members and all employees of member organizations.
