Agenda

• Review filetype proposal from Kate

Relationship and Usage type documentation

• All can contribute text for relationship types directly to the spreadsheet at: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13MuhIhmdSx5e9B7OCuz_CUoYRtAu-WU08SbIMlym5Xc/edit#gid=585252373
• Gary volunteered to take a pass at the spreadsheet

Filetypes

• Can we drop cruft?
  • Use case - non licensing impacting files (e.g. git or subversion meta data)
  • Usage type is more appropriate for recording this information
  • Will move the conversation over to the usage type
  • Added usage type usageType_nonlicenseImpacting
  • Usage/relationship type update
• Suggestion to add the filetypes to the google doc of relationship and usage
• How do we handle the ambiguities?
  • Should we define when to use which file type (e.g. executables should always use binaries and not application)

GSoC Update

• Merge tool - a bit behind original expected code, but should be seeing some info posted to the tech dist. list today
• Automated spdx creation - Matt is working with the student, should see some info posted by end of day to the dist list
  • Not currently using the SPDX git repo - decided not to change this at this time (could be disruptive to the project). Will discuss at end of project.
