Thoughts for Beta Program (for discussion)

Beta program

-Start with RC1  (Q1 sometime?)

-Need spec and license list available. PO - asked could we get started with license list incomplete?

-Ideally 3-5 trading partner pairs (assuming some will not complete it)

-They agree to designate at least one project where one partner will create an SPDX file and the other partner will receive and review it

-(they could do this in parallel with a “spreadsheet process”)

-They provide feedback on what worked, what didn’t, issues, questions

-SPDX group will provide support – available for ad-hoc and regular calls on technical or other issues

-Time period – feedback by Jun

-Want people willing to be quoted in announcement

-Try to get mix of use cases if possible (ex HP HW supplier and Linux distro, Mobile supply chain, Linux distro/upstream projects, consumer and supplier sides of supply chain)

 

-Where to find people

-SPDX members - Kim

-LF Member Council - Talk to Karen C or Rockett

-ELN - Mark Radcliffe

-Others…?

-Scott - maybe HP and a project they work with?

To Dos

-Brainstorm list – divide and conquer to reach out

-Write up program info/email to solicit interest – Kim

-Presentation on beta program - Kim

-Set up conference call to present further & get organized

-Put together  “beta support team”

-Need a “beta program manager”

-Need training/doc/how to for the beta sites (these will be beta docs for final release)

-Will need a beta email list
