This is to remind everyone that if you plan to attend the OWASP conference
next week, you need to register by COB this Thursday the 8th, so we can let
eBay security know on Friday who is attending.
Thanks! And hope to see many of you there.

Subject: OWASP WASC AppSec 2007 Conference - Nov 12-15 - San Jose, CA
OWASP and WASC have agreed to join forces this year to put together an
incredible AppSec 2007 Conference for the application security community,
Nov. 12-15 in San Jose. A huge concentration of industry leading experts
will be in attendance presenting high quality web application security
content. AppSec 2007 offers a unique opportunity for security professionals,
software developers, and IT managers to get up to speed on the latest and
greatest attack techniques, defense strategies, and industry trends in an
atmosphere of peers. The conference format and venue is also perfect for
networking and sharing experiences with others that are down in the
trenches.
