General Meeting/Minutes/2012-08-23

Technical Team Report - Kate

1.1 work
- Just finalizing a few typos.
- Tech team is signed off.
- General meeting attendees all agreed to call the doc final after typos corrected.

License list
- The focus of the last meeting was working through the FSF license list with an eye towards adding most items on the list to the current SPDX standard list.
- Work is still in process.
Data license
- Karen wrote up an excellent position statement on why we changed the data license in 1.1.
- Jiilayne will get it up on the website and Scott is looking into providing the link in the 1.1 press release.

1.1 Press Release
- Working with Linux Foudation PR group to finalize.
- There's a desire to get a list of companies that are using SPDX, but this will likely ge difficult in the time available. Possible alternatives:
  - Quotes from one or two companies
  - List of companies that have been involved in the development (which is already more or less public)
Survey
- The team has started a discussion about sending out a survey to understand attitudes towards, interest in, and adoption of SPDX to help drive adoption efforts.

Web Site Update
- New site is up and running.
- Still working through some minor issues; a team will focus on this at LinuxCon
Face 2 Face
- Ibrahim is proposing a face to face meeting outside the context of a conference in late Sept/early Oct
- We took a straw poll of who could make it. Some can, but several team leads are questionable.
- Looking into range of possiblities from full physical meeting to full virtual event
- Ibrahim is asking folks who have indicated they could come to add their physical locations to help target a venue.
Linux Foundation website help
- The LF has generously offered to assign a web consutant to rebuild the website from scratch using LF templates. (see Open Mama site for example)
- Work could commence in October 15
- Steve Cropper, Martin Michlmayr and Jack Manback are evaluating benefits v. staying with our already recently overhauled site.
