There's a fair amount to be done, but it is now well framed. There will likely be a different thread of meetings on rollout issues (vs. spec completion) starting after a face to face meeting in mid-November. Some of the areas that need work would benefit from skills from outside the current group, so please think about others in your organization that might help.&nbsp;</p><h3 style="margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 0px; color: #4d4d4d; font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; text-transform: capitalize; padding: 0px;">Issue Tracking</h3><p style="margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; font-size: 12px; color: #666666; line-height: 18px; font-weight: normal; padding: 0px;">We agreed that we should implement an issue tracking system for spec issues.

Kate is looking for others interested in this, to brainstorm with as to algorithms to generate this new package level checksum. &nbsp; We got into a discussion of "unique identifier" vs. "validator" and it became clear our nomenclature needs to be cleaned up to indicate that this is a validator and not an identifier. Someone proposed "Package Check Sum" as the name of the field and there was agreement. Kate will clean up the language requested more discussion on the maillist of the technical approach.</p><p style="margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; font-size: 12px; color: #666666; line-height: 18px; font-weight: normal; padding: 0px;">Appendices- The RDF group identified the need for an ontology and an XML schema appendix. &nbsp; Place holders for these will be added to the WIKI.&nbsp;&nbsp;RDF GroupThere was a good kickoff meeting last Thursday. Most of the discussion was about approaches and concerns. Both an ontology and a schema are to be the targeted outputs from this subgroup. &nbsp;Bill has since found a collaborative ontology site that will be useful in the development.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><h3 style="margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 0px; color: #4d4d4d; font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; text-transform: capitalize; padding: 0px;">Tools &amp; Infrastructure</h3><p style="margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; font-size: 12px; color: #666666; line-height: 18px; font-weight: normal; padding: 0px;">Linux Foundation has agreed to make the source code revision infrastructure (git based) available to SPDX tools. &nbsp; There will be a meeting next week between Gary, Ibrahim, Kate to discuss the logistics in more details. &nbsp; The first project will be Gary's Pretty Printer (which has components that can be reused in other projects).</p><p style="margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; font-size: 12px; color: #666666; line-height: 18px; font-weight: normal; padding: 0px;">Request was made on the list for an issue tracker. &nbsp;Current mechanism is a WIKI, but it was felt something more formal would give us better history. &nbsp; &nbsp;After group discussion and the willingness of Peter to volunteer to adminster it (thanks Peter!), &nbsp;we will be looking at setting up a bugzilla system. &nbsp; Options on where it can be hosted (linux foundation?), will be investigated by Kate. &nbsp; Goal would be that this could be used for the SPDX tools as well.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><h3 style="margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 0px; color: #4d4d4d; font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; text-transform: capitalize; padding: 0px;">ATTENDANCE</h3><ul style="list-style-type: disc; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 20px; font-size: 12px; padding: 0px;"><li style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 0px;">&nbsp;&nbsp;Jack Manbeck, Texas Instruments</li><li style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 0px;">&nbsp;&nbsp;Michael Herzog, nexB</li><li style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 0px;">&nbsp;&nbsp;Soeren Rabenstein, ASUS</li><li style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 0px;">&nbsp;&nbsp;Philippe Ombredanne, nexB Inc.</li><li style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 0px;">&nbsp;&nbsp;Esteban Rockett, Motorola</li><li style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 0px;">&nbsp;&nbsp;Phil Robb, Hewlett Packard</li><li style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 0px;">&nbsp;&nbsp;Bill Schineller, Black Duck Software</li><li style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 0px;">&nbsp;&nbsp;Philip Odence, Black Duck Software</li><li style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 0px;">&nbsp;&nbsp;Phil Koltun, Linux Foundation</li><li style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 0px;">&nbsp;&nbsp;Janet Campbell, Eclipse Foundation</li><li style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 0px;">&nbsp;&nbsp;Pierre Lapointe, nexB</li><li style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 0px;">&nbsp;&nbsp;Peter Williams, OpenLogic</li><li style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 0px;">&nbsp;&nbsp;Kim Weins, OpenLogic</li><li style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 0px;">&nbsp;&nbsp;Gary O'Neall, Source Auditor</li><li style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 0px;">&nbsp;&nbsp;Mark Gisi, Wind River</li><li style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 0px;">&nbsp;&nbsp;Ann Thornton, Freescale</li><li style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 0px;">&nbsp;&nbsp;Kate Stewart, Canonical</li></ul>

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: http://knoodl.com/ui/groups/SPDX/vocab/SPDX(dev-only);jsessionid=16BABC384D81ECF9EC6DC52C93977C3E

Participating are Bill, Kate, Gary, Peter, Jeff, Ed, Kyle (from Canonical), Pierre. Bruno and Marshall have been monitoring as well. We discussed using DOAP (description of a project) as a way to extend SPDX capability.

Tools Repository

LF is willing to host Bugzilla (as well as code). No one in the group saw any problem with going ahead. Kate, Bill and Peter are open to input for defining the hierarchy.

License Discussion

We discussed the call (Friday, Sept 24) dedicated to the big picture license discussion. Decoupling versioning from spec versioning, process for including new licenses, list for version 1, etc.
