I'm returning to Australia (permanently), and so the process of packing up house and getting a new job* is going to distract me somewhat from my moderation here. It might take a bit longer than average to process your posts, like 24-48 hours in some cases. It shouldn't be too bad in most cases, so I'm just letting you know why your post hasn't come through before you freak out and re-submit it (happens more often than you think), or you seek out the mail list gods here at SF and hassle them. However, once in back Australia, I currently have no appointments in my dance calendar** and so your webappsec mail list goodness will return to normal around February 4 or so. ** Topics of conversation: Let's get this list going again! ** I'd like to turn the list's thoughts to some ideas of conversations I'd like to see: * Educating CS / CSE majors. What can be done to get out there and ensure every course has a mandatory webappsec subject? * Future of webappsec. What is left to be worked out to help developers and architects build secure software the first time around? * Cutting edge stuff. What are you doing that is particularly cool or bleeding edge? I really want 2009 to be a block buster year here, so I will be contributing a lot more threads to get folks talking again. thanks, Andrew (your friendly webappsec mail list moderator) * Please forgive my cheeky job seeking, but if you have or know of any job openings for a web app security specialist, particularly one who can work remotely or onsite in or around Melbourne Australia, I'd love to hear from you (privately!). Check my details out on Linked In or if you need a resume, e-mail me privately. ** Actually, I have two - I am most likely going to speak at OWASP AU (http://www.owasp.org/index.php/OWASP_AU_Conference_2009). I'm also likely to do a podcast for OWASP before leaving the US. Details are being worked out! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sponsored by: Watchfire Methodologies & Tools for Web Application Security Assessment With the rapid rise in the number and types of security threats, web application security assessments should be considered a crucial phase in the development of any web application.
