==Agenda==

1) update from Collab Summit:
* went over 2.1 spec, Appendix V will be included - can view now as part of entire spec, so if you want to look at it, see: https://docs.google.com/document/d/112x3s3g1Qg2tj8bjvIPsqIBlWUp3Sob37cvAx2eiS6U/edit
* we all went to talk on Github licensing talk, which was interesting
* in the afternoon we went over the XML files with legal team plus some of tech team.  Looked a licenses, how to utilize tools to do review and put back into Github repository and then how to maintain in a Github repository
** XML templates to review are now here: https://github.com/spdx/license-list-XML  - pending pull request are to-be-reviewed
** we talked through various issues, both in XML files and specific issues with tags
*** e.g.,  Kris’ conversion tool didn’t chunk some clauses correctly so that some clauses are repeated; not sure how many licenses this impacted, but suspects it is a lot, so don’t need to be a blocker for review. He’s going to do another pass this weekend to check and provide more information
** every license needs review - to check meaning of license is impacted in how tags were applied
** review will require: (generally, process)
*** look at license that has a pull request in https://github.com/spdx/license-list-XML
*** if good to go - merge it in; if not tag for further review; will have option for people who don’t feel as comfortable with using Github
*** want to do a two eyeballs approach - although challenging, but ideal for
*** anything challenging needs to be raised on calls or can also have a Wiki to record conclusion, but have discussion on Github comments and calls
** Kris to draft process - Paul, Tom, Gary, Jilayne to review - will post here: http://wiki.spdx.org/view/Legal_Team/Templatizing/ReviewXML
** Kris also may make a screencast for an example and go through one of the licenses
* timeline:  2 weeks from now - do soft launch of review process, following week, do a more divvying up on April 28th legal call
* still need to make time for discussion based on mailing list topics

Note: there is no SPDX legal call on April 14th - next call is the usual time on April 28th
