Tech Team Report - Kate/Gary¶

Spec
Has been focusing on coding up best practices for creating a Notices file
- Will need some input from the Legal Team, probably a joint meeting
- Output will be pseudo-code which could be the basis for a tools (basis is sparkle queries)
2.1 is out there; no current bugs reported
- Kate gave a presentation on 2.1 in Yokahama; will get to Jack for posting on website
Tooling
All upgraded to 2.1
No bugs reported
Python library being upgraded
- Useful for implementing SPDX in a Python-based sw tool
2017 Goals Brainstorm
Tooling to make quality of licensing more visible
- Mark G started this work
- The idea is to grade a project, based on SPDX file, for how complete the licensing is
Looking to get plug-ins adopted into communities
Apache and Eclipse
Web based tools
Current java tools involve installing java environment
e.g. Past a license into a webpage and have it matched to an SPDX template
Discuss pros/cons of moving to single format
JSON- Happy medium between tag value and RDF
Write a git plug-in for generating SPDX docs
Could then grade
Another Google Summer of Code Project

A few meetings have been missed
Website is up
Outlining documentation needs
2017 Goals Brainstorm
Do a survey of companies using supply chains - understand what they are doing wrt gathering license data
- Could use other existing groups such as Open Chain
