To accommodate our expanded schedule of presentations, we'll skip the Top 10 presentation this month, and shift our schedule to pick up again in November.
---------------------------
We're always looking for presenters and topics for future meetings - contact John (john.dileo@owasp.org) if you have an idea for a topic, or a presentation you'd like to make. That way, it won't always be John talking about what he's been working on recently.

The Hamilton OWASP NZ Meetup usually takes place on the third Tuesdays of March, May, July, September, and November. There is no Meetup in January, as our members enjoy their holidays.
