Attendees

1) Monthly SPDX General call was earlier today and GSoC student, Tushar Mittal, presented his work so far on the online XML editor.

http://13.57.134.254/app/ to try out tool in development and provide feedback. There may be bugs! Function to make Github pull request directly is being added (so keep in mind if testing)
question as to whether generated PR comes from a person’s account or some generic; what about ability comment?
follow-on feature to have way to view-as-webpage option
we need to consider, when this is done, how does this impact/change the instructions for suggesting a new license:
- want to keep email option for people who aren’t comfortable
- or can use editor and generate PR directly? add option later
maybe update https://spdx.org/spdx-license-list/request-new-license to align with https://github.com/spdx/license-list-XML/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md maybe just use the latter
- update webpage to just have a link to CONTRIBUTING.md
- update links to Request page on other pages elsewhere
- once confident we have caught those pages, can get rid of webpage

2) 3.2 is now live

update for 3.2 major changes to email list
explore adding “release notes” - is there a way to automate a list based on milestones going forward?
