Just blogged by my good friend James McG:

The next meeting of the Hartford CT chapter of OWASP will occur on February 10th and will feature Mary Ruddy of Project Higgins along with Ramesh Nagappan of Sun.
OWASP events are 100% free to attend. Help spread the word...

Funnily enough, I've definitely met Mary, but I'm not sure I've ever met Ramesh. I won't get to see him next week, either, since Hartford is about 3,000 miles away from me, but you definitely should, if you're in the area...

Prompted by James, I signed up a little while ago to the OWASP Bay Area chapter, keen to learn more about application security, both in hardening OpenSSO and Access Manager and in how those projects/products can contribute to securing applications. Well, whaddya know, the next meeting is a half day Application Security Summit at the Microsoft facility in Mountain View next Wednesday, when I'll be out of town. Keen as I am to attend OWASP, I think the Jazoon folks would be a little upset if I didn't show up for my session on OpenSSO, so I'll have to be content with encouraging folks in the Bay Area to attend - all the details are here and, apparently, space is limited, so if you're interested, sign up now!
