"Any security-related open source project - with a preference for BSD-compatible licensing - is applicable and encouraged to submit a 'Magnificent7' application.

"After the Rapid7 program committee reviews all initial proposals, promising projects will be chosen to participate in the second round of application, taking place at the UNITED Security Summit, where they will be granted a 45-minute presentation and in-person Q&A session with the Rapid7 committee."
