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.
