[Project] "Applied Research" Subactivity

[JustinCappos]

Description: The STAG group members often have good ideas they want to get out to the broader community. We've started to write up blog entries, etc. It may be useful to have a process to have them come out from STAG and be marketed as such.

Here is an example article: https://thenewstack.io/security-of-software-update-systems-in-2023/

Impact: This will help others get security awareness and bring in new contributors to TAG Security.

Scope: It will take a week to a month for the authors of each post depending on the content. There will be some minor work for the organizers to choose the topics and coordinate logistics. Most likely the group will publish 3-4 of these a year so that work will not be onerous.

Intent to lead:

• I volunteer to be a project lead on this proposal if the community is
  interested in pursing this work. This statement of intent does not preclude
  others from co-leading or becoming lead in my stead. (I nominate @anvega to potentially take this over if he is interested)

Proposal to Project:

• Added to the planned meeting template for August 30th
• Raised in a Security TAG meeting to determine interest - August 30th
• Collaborators comment on issue for determine interest and nominate project
  lead
• Scope determined via meeting mm dd and/or shared document add link
  with call for participation in #tag-security slack channel thread add link
  and mailing list email add link
• Scope presented to Security TAG leadership and Sponsor is assigned
