Technical 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

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.
