Technical Team Report - Gary

  • Completed review of use cases.
  • Have started modeling phase
  • Will create model of v1.1 and review so that everyone has the same baseline to work from
  • Then will start building model for 2.0 and vet against use cases for 2.0
  • Last two meetings have been lightly attended. Only 4 folks this week.
  • Some issues have surfaced with the GPL exceptions on the SPDX license list
  • Legal team is looking for a volunteer to review for correctness
  • Team discussed potential policy around licenses in different languages. Some initial thoughts from the team
  • Official language of the license list site is English
  • A small number of licenses have been originally published in a different language; for those cases, may make sense to publish in the original language
  • Policy is still under discussion

  • Recruitment
  • Continuing to work on recruitment plan & roadmap
  • Team thinks this will be ready for review soon
