==GSoC==
* Need some additional project ideas
* Kate suggested adding package manager plugins for SPDX
* Gary suggested some additional Java projects could be added
* SPDX tools for updated license submission is pending a fix: https://github.com/spdx/spdx-online-tools/issues/140

==Joint legal/tech call==
* Feedback from the meeting at FOSDEM was adding the ability to add licenses
** There was a project last year that still needs to be deployed
** Discussion having a non-curated or semi-curated license list
** Steve proposed having a joint call with legal
** Issue https://github.com/spdx/spdx-spec/issues/113 tracks last year’s proposal
** Hashing of names proposed
** Concern with hashing, two licenses match, but end up with 2 different ids, as they hash differently. Namespace approach from Mark Atwood avoids issue, avoids the duplicate license text being represented with multiple license ids
** William raised the advantage of hashing allows for offline use
** Philippe mentioned 1000+ additional licenses could be added
** William suggested an aliasing approach to resolve duplicate licenses
** Need a PR to specify the proposal
*** Kate agreed to write up the spec

* JSON-LD PR – fixed plural issue and will merge
** Gary to fix tools
* PR #206 – Optional-of – added NPM example and merged
* Issue #174 – dependency root of

** Suggestion dependency_manifest_of
