Previous versions have been reviewed by business team, no feedback has been received from the tech team
Business team priority of use cases need to be reconciled with tech team thoughts - pls. review the next draft
Question on the "use of meta tag"
- Not sure what this term means
- The term meta tags refers to the use of SPDX license IDs in source code
- could probably be a better term
- Kirsten will update requirements doc to be more descriptive
Plan to post this week for one more review then it should be final
Feedback to both take out and leave in the use case references
Decided to leave them out

Michael, Gary and Matt have drafted a Summer of code proposal
Linux Foundation already an organization
With the help of Mike Dolan, we got approval to add out projects to the Linux foundation projects proposal page
The projects are not yet posted
Background on Google summer of code: https://developers.google.com/open-source/soc/?csw=1
Project proposal at http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/gsoc/gsoc-2014-spdx-projects
Michael will craft an update email to the groups
will likely need more mentors for projects

Kate is working with Genivi who are looking at adopting SPDX as part of their compliance
Background on Genivi can be found at https://www.genivi.org/
starting to do generations for OE/Yocto on their code base
Kate will post further updates to the tech team mailing list
Looking at the Fossology / SPDX work from UNO as a starting point for a scan
Would be a good test case for SPDX 2.0

Feedback from Liang, JSON may not be as readible as tag/value
We're still leaning towards unifying, but based on Liang's feedback we should look at a tag/value format
Kate suggests along the lines of E#: Tag: Value, as way of handling abstraction/element references
Gary generally thinks that sounds like it should be possible to translate to/from
Kate will post a proposal to the mail list
