How do you intend to extend outreach to developers and developer communities outside of the security ecosystem?

istr commented 2 years ago

How do you plan to become less dependent on the primary revenue stream of "Offline Conferences"?

bkimminich commented 2 years ago

Where do you see the biggest challenges for OWASP as a volunteer-driven organization in 2023+ and how do you intend to address them?

kwwall commented 2 years ago

Somewhat related to https://github.com/OWASP-Foundation/Board-Election-Call-for-Questions/issues/7#issuecomment-1216595417: What would you do to encourage OWASP to build more security tools, languages, and/or libraries for the developer community or help them assist developers by evaluating and recommending already existing FOSS libraries supporting security controls.

tghosth commented 2 years ago

What involvement have you had in the last 1-3 years as an OWASP project/chapter/conference leader which would give you an insight into the practical, day-to-day challenges which OWASP faces?

tghosth commented 2 years ago

What practical experience can you bring to the specific challenges a nonprofit organization like OWASP faces such as fundraising, staff support, operating model/by-laws, etc?

pendo19 commented 2 years ago

How active do you intend on being? In the past there have been people doing the role for the title only without putting in the work.

avidouglen commented 2 years ago

How do you feel about compromising on your goals, in order to build consensus with others at the table that might disagree about those goals?

evodefense commented 2 years ago

Give an example of how you would lead the OWASP community to achieving its main goal of increasing security of software?

evodefense commented 2 years ago

Elaborate on how you would see yourself in this role. What your first day on the board would be like,end of your first month and the end of the year? What are you doing, reflecting, and setting goals?

longwoodprof commented 2 years ago

How can OWASP help address the problems of "everyone is hiring, but no one is hiring entry-level" and "How can I get experience when every job requires X years of experience?"

What do you think will help to increase the adoption of the OWASP Projects?

How will you help to improve the enterprise and government participation (membership and contribution to projects)?

Give an example of how you would lead the OWASP community to achieving its main goal of increasing security of software?

Can you clarify what you mean by increasing software security? Increasing adoption (if so by developers, general security people etc ?)

I was pulling this from OWASP website home page whois. My thought... Maybe an open ended question could offer a good candidate an opportunity to express his own new ideas or may be a bad candidate to fumble with the question about what owasp does. But I see your point more clarity in my question could provide a better answer! Still trying to brainstorm more ideas...

Local laws increasingly require a local legal presence within a country (or the EEA) to operate and comply with local laws; how will you enable OWASP Chapters, Events, Projects and other activities outside the USA to continue operating in compliance with local laws (such as local Tax and Privacy laws) so that they won't need to shutdown?

What actions can we expect to see from you within the first 3 months of your term to address this issue?

hellodanielting commented 2 years ago

How will you ensure that you're effectively representing the OWASP membership, its projects, and chapters? How will the community be able to measure that success?

hellodanielting commented 2 years ago

How will you enable OWASP, its projects, chapters, events, volunteers, staff, and members to better execute on its mission? What concrete actions/initiatives/programs will you drive during your time in office?

hellodanielting commented 2 years ago

With the growth of other community groups, such as OpenSSF, DevSecCon, and DefCon AppSec Village, GitHub/GitLab/Twitter, and the various local meetups, where do you see OWASP's Foundation place in the growing AppSec ecosystem?

hellodanielting commented 2 years ago

What do you believe are the biggest challenges the OWASP Foundation faces as an organisation in the next 1, and 5+ years respectively? What needs to urgently change/sustain/improve? How will you address them?

hellodanielting commented 2 years ago

What is your top outcome you'd like to accomplish in your term in office? How will the OWASP community be able to watch your progress?

bhaskarvilles commented 2 years ago

Why Is Joining OWASP Board Important to You? and to to the community?

kcrubin commented 2 years ago

What will be your significant milestones over the period of your tenure to make the OWASP community bigger and better?

To be honest: I am shocked that we have 16 (!) participants on this ticket before closing. As a question out of the official submission: Could you point out the ratio (voting OWASP members to 16)? How do you plan to improve on that ratio?

You think 16 is bad? Check last year's ticket with questions from just 8 people... 😅

How were the questions from this thread selected for the candidates? It looked like none of them answered either of mine. Were they overlooked or did I miss a step?

Questions are supposedly selected by # of "👍" given.
