  • Most of the team leads were not able to join, so we curtailed the meeting
  • These 'virtual minutes' compile status reports from each team.


Business Team Report - Jack/Scott

  • The SPDX Survey was closed and the results were compiled. A few of the highlights:
    • Over 100 people responded
    • Punchline was that more than 75% thought it was important/very important to have a standard for exchanging license information.
    • Good representation world wide.
    • Good mix of big and small companies.
    • You can view the results here: http://wiki.spdx.org/view/Business_Team/Surveys
  • The next step with the Survey results is to see what can be actionable and what to do.
  • The University of Omaha Nebraska is working with Yocto and SPDX to integrate their Fossology + SPDX instance into the Yocto build process.
  • Phil Odence and Scott Lamons submitted an article to IFOSSLR on he state of SPDX. [Phil feel free to add some here and a link to the article? We could also post the article on the wiki or as a news item on the site.]
