Potential OWASP Hires

Sarah Baso - Kelly S. Paulo’s replacement Larry’s role??? In the interim, the board has authorized Sarah and Kelly to work up to 40 hours per week on OWASP tasks, either funded by a local chapter for local chapter support, or funded by the foundation to support any of the Global Committees, through the end of Dec. 2011. Any existing funding sources remain (local chapter or global committee), and the foundation will make up any difference. Voted and unanimously approved by all Board members.
