Development of an OWASP service catalog

Sherif - suggested we establish an OWASP service catalog

Greg - establishing a platform for chapters and projects would be great support. But I have concerns that we don’t want to show that we are endorsing vendors.

Owen - I support it, but I think it should be part of the website project

Andrew - we should start with a list of services that the Foundation already does.

Matt - I believe this something that staff might already have and it should be staff driven.

Martin - I agree with Greg that we have to be cautious that we are not endorsing vendors.

Motion: to have the staff look into establishing a service catalog
