  • Minutes of May meeting approved

UNO - Matt Germonprez

  • Tools
    • DoSOCS - evolved from Yacto tool
      • Generalized to create ways of generating SPDX docs from various dev processes
      • Resulted DoSOCS- Ways to scan packages and repos (now source, but in theory binary) to generate SPDX
        • Main use case is generating SPDX 2.0 docs
        • Store in a relational database - trick was mapping obj-oriented SPDX to rel database
        • Very generic. Even on the back end; developed with FOSSology, but could plug in commercial scanners
        • Future- intake of SPDX
        • Idea is that this will eventually pull in all tools Git, Yacto, etc
        • And, can be tied into Jenkins
        • Ultimately will support an enterprise process to maintain a inventory of SPDX docs that come out of their processes
      • Also exploring production of security vulnerability info
        • Looking for where vulnerability info could be stored.
        • Need a spot for CPE (and other common ID standards)
        • Which would allow for vulnerability info
        • Tech team has been pursuing this idea
        • Group needs to address the mission creep issue
    • Git Scanner
      • Analyzes branch and contributes SPDX doc
    • Eclipse Plug In
