Discussed this year’s Google Summer of Code for SPDX.

• Mentors
  • Rohit, Steve, Gary, Philippe, Jack, Kate have all signed up as mentors
  • There is another student interested in mentoring, but we probably have enough mentors based on the number of projects
• Project ideas – wiki page is a little light: https://wiki.spdx.org/view/GSOC/GSOC_ProjectIdeas
• Rishi Bhatnagar emailed a proposal to write a new GoLang RDF Parser as an SPDX project
  • probably don’t want to do much more with RDF – looking more at 2.2 updates which Steve will add as a project idea
    • Once the Golang project proposal is on the wiki, we’ll follow-up with Rishi and direct him to other project ideals
• Several new ideas were raised on the call
  • Golang tools – update to 2.2
  • Plugin for NPM – Kate will work on project idea, will sync up with Gary on Friday
  • Gary to put back the Develop a Distributed License Repository Management Application
    • this may be too much overlap with last year’s project https://github.com/spdx/spdx-online-tools/wiki/Registry-and-repository-of-License-List-Namespaces:-GSOC-2019
  • Gary to start the org submission but not submit until the project ideas have been updated
• Project ideas will be discussed at FOSSDEM Friday meeting and the Wiki page will be updated at that time
• Project

2.2 Release

• Will pick up discussions next Tuesday

Feb 4th meeting – Philippe will host
