“Meet the CRS team” – Developer portraits for recruiting collaborators

For the open-source project OWASP CRS, we portrayed Andrea Menin, a member of the core team. The Italian, who joined the team in 2018, loves finding workarounds for CRS rules. In his spare time, he plays board games and guitar. For him, the most important thing about working on the project is that it’s fun. Read more about Andrea in our article on the CRS blog.

Companies are not the only ones facing this question today: How do I find qualified IT staff? Open-source projects that rely on the work of volunteers face the same problem. One example is the Core Rule Set (CRS) project, which is working on a comprehensive rule set for the ModSecurity web application firewall under the umbrella of the OWASP open-source organization. To help potential team members overcome their shyness, we are portraying selected developers from the core team. The first portrait has already been published on the CRS project blog; more will follow soon.
