Legal Team/Minutes/2016-11-10

Attendees

1) Reviewed Dennis' draft document of process for Github management of license list, here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kGSs3CXbtjF_uZmVsjhXMGChyP-pzlszktTr8t4PmmI/edit#

this will be on either readme or separate contributing page, as appropriate
drafted as is using standard issues template already existing in Github; can consider custom issues as option later
only team members can create/use labels function
added note that Github is not the forum for more general questions
do we want people to simply submit a pull request or log issue first for change to matching template? sending a PR would be preferred way to do it but give option to log an issue if not comfortable with doing PR or something that needs discussion - added info about this
pull request process - for us, Kris says: keep it simply, accept pull request, don’t merge into master - another set of eyes review changes… (need to learn more here). treat things we do same as what other people do
can also link issues and pull requests, this is helpful - e.g. linking issues and pull requests
question and clarifictaion as to SPDX gtihub account v. LF account
Dennis to clear up comments and suggested changes made on call and send note to mailing list for people to review again

2) update on XML work (and schedule)

Kris to add exception to review repo by next call on Dec 8th
suggest to add intermediary goal of 10 new reviews in 10 days; since no meeting for 4 weeks, Jilayne to send updates to keep work on people's radar, etc.
reviewed action plan items: http://wiki.spdx.org/view/Legal_Team/Templatizing/ActionPlan - will update as to status of these

3) new exception request/business as usual
