Topics:
Update on 2.2.1
GSoC
SPDX Tools

==SPDX 2.2.1==
* Spec available at https://spdx.github.io/spdx-spec/v2-draft/
* Kate gave a quick overview of the changes made so far
* Mostly renumbering, reformatting to ISO specs
* A lot of external references were broken – changed to local references
* All – Please review the 2.2.1 spec and open issues for any problems found
* Overall structure is now in place – we can start basing our 3.0 work on the 2.2.1 work

==GSoC==
* coding continues in Summer of Code.
* Python expertise - active request for reviews. ** more bandwidth needed.
** Kate will provide Daniel Beard intro to Philippe ang Gary to possibly help with the Python libraries
* Rohit, Alexios, Gary - mentors for Community Bridge.

==Serialization Formats==
* non normative changes to sample/examples for bugs in 2.2
* Serialization formats outside of RDF/XML;
* some different assumptions were being made.
* Better to document this in the specification itself.
* Approach and assumptions being made - examples applying.
* Serialization examples and principles.
* Bugs ok in 2.2.1 & enhancements `
* Goal - use native format of JSON & YAML when possible
** same vocabulary across all.
** Exact case and spelling may differ due to different formats.
** Stem of term would be consistent.
** UML object model is abstract and not specific to any format.
** Want JSON to look like “JSON” not something else.
* Nisha: concern over incompatiblity with tool compatibility with different cases.
** JSON allows plural forms on some array terms.
** Singular to plural are not easy to code
** Consistent casing structure.
** Any tools that support more than one serialization format will have to deal with this.
** Nisha: Question on the overall model.
***Using RDF/XML document as source, but Alexios wrote a translator to standard OMG UML.
*** TODO: Annex C needs to be updated from RDF —> UML Object Model; and include the diagram from Alexios.

* Agreed on the following guiding principles for the different serialization formats
** Consistent vocabulary across format
** Consistent object model across formats (where feasible)
** Serialization formats are optimized to for the formats (e.g. JSON will look natural to someone familiar with JSON)
* We will document the different serialization formats in the spec in 3.0 in a similar fashion to tag/value and RDF/XML
* We will add JSON and YAML examples to 2.2.1 or a 2.2.2 version of the spec depending on timing

==Next Week’s Agenda==
* June 23 - Security - Thomas “unblock thomas"
* June 30 - Cancelled.
* July 7 - BASE 3.0 - William
* July 14 - Licensing Profile - Steve
