Common Messaging/Presentation

PhilO once again expressed openness to any feedback on the standards slides we should all be using to describe SPDX

Industry Venues

PhilR lead a discussion about future events we should be getting on the list. He will be updating. All are encouraged to crowdsource this list.

Website

Website is still developing and PhilO is open to feedback.

Rollout

PhilO summarized the need for a roll out plan. Kim emphasized that we are looking for volunteers from the group and our respective organizations. A face to face meeting will be scheduled for Nov 16/17, with location to be determined based on who is coming.

Legal Update

Rockett summarized a call with Linux Foundation legal group, the Member Counsel. (Kim, Kate, JohnE and PhilO also participated.) The Member Council has been aware of standardization efforts for a couple of year and this call was to provide status. A number of the participants were new to the MC, so it was important to get them up to speed. They encouraged us to provide them with an example.

Agenda

  • Tools repository - Gary/Kate/Bill
  • Licenses: special working session on Friday at 12 CDT

Spec

Formatting difficulties have slowed getting the spec back in the Wiki. That's in process. Kate will add 5.6/5.7.

RDF

Work group is in process defining the ontology. Using knodle site: <a href="http://knoodl.com/ui/groups/SPDX/vocab/SPDX(dev-only);jsessionid=16BABC384D81ECF9EC6DC52C93977C3E">http://knoodl.com/ui/groups/SPDX/vocab/SPDX(dev-only);jsessionid=16BABC384D81ECF9EC6DC52C93977C3E</a>   

Tools & Infrastructure

Linux Foundation has agreed to make the source code revision infrastructure (git based) available to SPDX tools.   There will be a meeting next week between Gary, Ibrahim, Kate to discuss the logistics in more details.   The first project will be Gary's Pretty Printer (which has components that can be reused in other projects).

Request was made on the list for an issue tracker.  Current mechanism is a WIKI, but it was felt something more formal would give us better history.    After group discussion and the willingness of Peter to volunteer to adminster it (thanks Peter!),  we will be looking at setting up a bugzilla system.   Options on where it can be hosted (linux foundation?), will be investigated by Kate.   Goal would be that this could be used for the SPDX tools as well.
