Agenda
1) Contributing updates and license submission tool:
- license submission tool - 3 more issues that need to be addressed; need someone who knows Python in Django framework; Bradley offered to help after Dec 20th-ish; if anyone picks up an issue, just make sure to assign yourself, so people know you are working on it (first come, first serve!)
- 3 issues have to do with updating or adding fields:
- https://github.com/spdx/spdx-online-tools/issues/64 for updating a Comments field (this is most urgent)
- https://github.com/spdx/spdx-online-tools/issues/66 for updates to OSI approved or submitted question
- https://github.com/spdx/spdx-online-tools/issues/65 for adding field regarding license author or steward
- Jilayne to ensure we have a note in CONTRIBUTING as to where to log issues on tool - https://github.com/spdx/spdx-online-tools/issues
2) 3.4 release outstanding issues: comments added and issues and PR closed or merged in repo for 3.4 release, as well as a bit of clean-up of old stuff
- note: for license submissions where submitter has become unresponsive, we added a label for that and informally will give people at least a full release cycle to respond
3) Alan’s new tool for determining if license text is on SPDX License List via diff mechanism!!
- is in his repo in source and Chrome extension where you can take text and diff it against SPDX License List; ranks matches based on amount of differences - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/spdx-diff/kfoadicmilbgnicoldjmccpaicejacdh
- also can be used with Firefox, but not published there yet
- exceptions are not in tool yet
- Steve will talk to Kate about getting extension over to an LF account
- source code is currently here: https://github.com/alandtse/spdx-diff
- need to think about name because we have “diff” tool for diff’ing SPDX documents - put your vote for name in the issues in Github, Alan gets to decide since he wrote
