CRS Project News July 2018
We are launching the monthly news anew. The idea is to look beyond the pure CRS development again and to bring you additional information that touch on our project. As the editor, I (-> Christian Folini) am planning to release this in the first half of the month. This did not work in July, though, but I have a very cute excuse: She’s called Giovanna and she is only a couple of days old. We’re going to be a bit earlier in August, but also less news apparently.
CRS Community Summit next week: Call for Posters and the Program is Ready
The very first meetup of the CRS community is only one week away now and it’s time to announce our program. As stated here on the blog before, this is meant as an opportunity to build ties, to get inspiration from the community and to understand what people are doing with CRS. So there are going to be talks, but there is a lot of room for talking and discussion. So we are going to do a networking / poster session that lives on your contributions. You are invited to bring along a poster, put it up on the wall in our room and we will give you time to present it to our audience. We are interested in use cases, success stories or unique approaches to integrating CRS3. Also ideas and pitches for new projects within our community are welcome. Standard flipchart format. Please be aware you should bring it along in physical form: we can’t print it on site. But we will have tape available for you.
Registration Open for the CRS Community Summit on July 4
The organisation of the CRS community summit at the OWASP AppSecEU conference is coming along nicely. Remember, we are going to meet in London on Wednesday, July 4 at 4pm, to talk about CRS, and about the way our users, our integrators and their users work with CRS. The program will include information about CRS 3.1, a recent proposal for a rule meta language above CRS (to give the rule set a wider audience) and the most important thing: Time to meet and talk to fellow users!
Save the Date: CRS Community Summit on July 4, 2018
The OWASP ModSecurity Core Rule Set project will meet on Wednesday July 4, at 4pm in London to hold it’s first community summit. We scheduled this for the night before the AppSecEU conference in London on Thursday and Friday so people would have a real incentive to make the trip. {{ figure src=“images/2018/03/16367769605_dec3772aa8_k.jpg” caption=“London Tower Bridge by night (Photo by Arijit_Roy; flickr)” >}} Truth be told, the three project leads, Chaim, Walter and me have never met in person and physical contact is similarly rare between the committers, let alone the commercial suppliers or the thousands of users worldwide.
