New page

Aug 25, 2015
== Attendees ==
* Gary O'Neall
* Kate Stewart
* Bill Schineller
* Scott Sterling
* Yev Bronshteyn
* Hassib Khanafer
==External Package Identifiers==
* Yev will update google docs to reflect decisions made in the last discussion on the topic
==Version 2.1==
* Include:
** snippets
** external identifiers and security
** meta tags
* Target completion by compliance summit in November with a fallback plan for Collab Summit
==Meta Tags==
* Reference Wiki page http://wiki.spdx.org/view/Technical_Team/SPDX_Meta_Tags
* Will allow for license expression
* Name for the tag (SPDX-License-Identifier: )
** Discussion on using different terms - Consensus on the original proposal
** Maps to license information in file
** Multiple SPDX-License-Identifier will be treated as multiple licenses expressions in the License Information in File
* Where should the metatag be placed?
** Normally at the top of the file, but it should follow the convention of the language used
** Near/in the context of the code it is associated with
** Not prescriptive, more recommendations
* Do we include anything on compiled strings?
** Proposal to not exclude the compiled strings
* Defining the end of license expression -
** Use the same rules as the license expressions - whitespace after license ID, expressions must use parenthesis "(" ")"
* Examples
** SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT blah foobar [OK since there is whitespace after a license ID]
** SPDX-License-Identifier: (MIT) blah foobar [OK]
** SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL with classpath-exception [Not OK - the expression must be enclosed by the parenthesis. This will be interpreted as GPL]
** SPDX-License-Identifier: (GPL with classpath-exception) [OK]
* for best results always surround licenseid/expression with PARENTHESES
* Copyrights will not be explicitly added in this release, although we may reference guidelines on how to document copyrights
==File Type Application==
* Section 4.3.1 - Application as defined by Mime Type is very general, and may not be what is intended
* New wording suggested by Yev - APPLICATION if the file can be executed (natively or with an interpreter) to provide functionality.
* Agreed to wording - proposed changing 2.1 - Add bug, Yev will log it as a bug [Bug added - ID 1311]
==Agenda topics==
* Next week we will cover Snippets
* Follow-on discussions to close on the External IDs + Security
