Technical Team Report - Kate

• 1.1 work
• Just finalizing a few typos.
• Tech team is signed off.

Legal Team Report - Jilayne

• License list
• The focus of the last meeting was working through the FSF license list with an eye towards adding most items on the list to the current SPDX standard list.
• Work is still in process.
• Data license
• Karen wrote up an excellent position statement on why we changed the data license in 1.1.

Business Team Report - Jack & Scott

• 1.1 Press Release
• Working with Linux Foudation PR group to finalize.
• There's a desire to get a list of companies that are using SPDX, but this will likely ge difficult in the time available. Possible alternatives: 
• Quotes from one or two companies
• List of companies that have been involved in the development (which is already more or less public)
• Survey
• The team has started a discussion about sending out a survey to understand attitudes towards, interest in, and adoption of SPDX to help drive adoption efforts.

Cross Functional Issues – Phil

• New site is up and running. 
• Still working through some minor issues; a team will focus on this at LinuxCon

• Ibrahim is proposing a face to face meeting outside the context of a conference in late Sept/early Oct
• We took a straw poll of who could make it. Some can, but several team leads are questionable.
• Looking into range of possiblities from full physical meeting to full virtual event
• Ibrahim is asking folks who have indicated they could come to add their physical locations to help target a venue.
• Linux Foundation website help
• The LF has generously offered to assign a web consutant to rebuild the website from scratch using LF templates. (see Open Mama site for example)
