Hey guys,

I've made some great progress this weekend on the cms templates for
our site. The integration efforts are going well. David and I have
come up with a way of using jaas policy files for security enforcement
in the portal (rather than rolling our own role/user stuff like
everyone else). Gauging from what I see on google, most people don't
seem to understand the power behind JAAS as it is a framework not
necessarily a complete implementation of a security strategy. Once we
get a bit farther, I would like to hear what everyone else thinks
about it.

Everyone might want to check out http://www.apache.org/foundation/, I
found it interesting they name VPs for all of their projects. Since
we are a corporation, something like that might be well suited for the
project leaders?

We need to get a plan together on setting up the machines we have.
What is the current status of the boxes and load balancers?

I'm getting to the point where i'd like to deploy a version of the
portal with magnolia so people can start playing with it, and I can
get their feedback on what types of additional templates we'll need.

Also, I think our project members should have owasp business cards
since we moving towards an organized entity rather than a bunch of
open source hax0rs.

Thoughts?

Things I have slated for my next few months in owasp:

Finalize portal integration with magnolia
Update oPortal unit tests
Additional CMS templates
New site content for oPortal
Configuration of the deployment environment for our production servers

Additional lower priority items:

JIRA implementation

Cheers

-Ben
