General Meeting/Minutes/2012-01-26

Technical Team Report - Gary

Much focus on defining approach for 2.0 spec.
Two key elements: Hierarchy and time element (revisions, supply chain, approvals)
Progress forward, but some concern that we are not converging rapidly enough
Key discussion about backwards compatibility and how important it is for 2.0.

New website has been recent focus.
- There was a training meeting and an email went to voluteers for content migration.
- Web team is implementing the new menu structure and will then green light volunteers to move content.
- That will take two weeks, followed by cleanup.
License List addition process
- Dusted off notes from previous discussion and concluded it looked pretty good.
- Kim working with legal team to review
- Then we need to publish and implement
Community outreach re: data license
- Kim reaching out to Gentoo, Fedora, Eclipse
- Thumbs up from Gentoo; waiting on Fedora and Eclipse
- Adding Gentoo licenses to license list
SPDX outreach meeting
- Silicon Valley, April 6; plans in motion

Preample to data license complete and will be published.
License List
- License "Templatizing" is taking a new approach; better described as "license list matching guidelines."
- Good progress; lots of concensus
- Discussion about best form or forms in which to publish (CSV, Excel, HTML)

Heads up- Potential for need for modest SPDX funding from participating companies in the future. Probably a when, not if.

Phil- If it looks like 2.0 may have backward compatibility issues, call broad meeting for community input.
