Re: Shameless plug: OWASP Board Elections

I can second what Robin said.

Also, OWASP news might not be out of place here. I follow this list but I don’t really follow OWASP closely and I never would have heard a thing about any elections or anything otherwise. I’m obviously not a member but stuff like this helps generate interest, I think.

Not bad for a shameless plug.
