Created page with "== Attendees == * Jilayne Lovejoy * Paul Madick * Dennis Clark * Mark Gisi * Alan Tse == Agenda == 1) SPDX 2.0 is on the verge of release. Mark had made recommendations in ..."

New page

* Jilayne Lovejoy

* Dennis Clark
* Mark Gisi
* Alan Tse

== Agenda ==
1) SPDX 2.0 is on the verge of release. Mark had made recommendations in some of license-related areas of draft to remove explanation of disjunctive and conjunctive licenses, since that is now in the License Expression Syntax section; Jilayne to review

2) SPDX License List, 2.0
* formatting on web pages now looks good on a variety of browsers and operating systems - yeah!
* Sortable columns work, but it's not obvious - add a note to the top text. Sorts by upper case, then lower case - see if that can be fixed for 2.1
* Discussed timing for 2.1 release (since 2.0 has been up for a month or so and we have new licenses to add already) - wait for now.
* Also discussed general cadence for new releases of SPDX License List. At one time had made a goal to release on quarterly basis (unless no updates) or a very compelling reason to do a interim/off-schedule release. Decided to get back to this. Future releases and dates will be as follows:
* *
