General Meeting/Minutes/2010-12-16
From SPDX Wiki
Administrative
- Attendance - 12
- Minutes from 2 Dec meeting approved
Technical Team Report
- Still going back and forth on grammar and syntax, resolving RDF and tag value
- Various proposals will be circulating
- Next priority is defining a license template
Business Team Report
- Beta program starting up. Aiming to start late Q1 and wrap in late Q2
- Some tooling needs to be in place prior to make it easier to generate syntactically correct RDF as well as to create human readable format. Gary's 'pretty printer' is a good starting point
- Ideally seeking pairs of supply chain partners for beta. Motorola and HP are interested. Maybe Fedora.
- Ping KimW if interested or with ideas
Legal Team Report
- Kicked of regular meetings.
- First Meeting: successfully bridging from licensing sub-team to new Legal Team. Good discussion about handling GPL3 exceptions. Also about rev'ing license list. And what is "required" for valid SPDX
- Much discussion about license list. Conclusion as that we should add a field to SPDX that specifies the version of the license list used to generate the file. The version number for the list will be date based.
