Tech Team Report - Kate/Gary¶

Spec
SEVA discussions
- Looking at fields that we might incorporate
- Security
- Evidence

Some discussions with NTIA Group as well

May start using the security mailing list soon
Tooling
Multiple formats

- XML, JSON, YAML, Tag value, RDF
Attention back to updating tooling with spec
Some concern about file sizes with certain packages/formats
- May simply be an issue of LOTS of files
Generating License List
- Didn’t work perfectly
- Giving another run
Updating tooling for license submittal/editing
- A few bugs need to be worked around

There’s a fair backlog of issues to work through
Ongoing process
3.3 Is out
Started new practice of release notes
Tooling and new request system has to be nailed down
People are going through multiple paths/processes
Need to standardize
Tooling is close
- Need a few more text fields
- All submissions seem to come from Gary
License inclusion guidelines
Inbound request regarding open hardware languages
Already included open data license
May need to revisit inclusion guidelines
OSI discussion about naming issues with SPDX
Need to find opportunity for better collaboration

Seems to be a lot more use of SPDX in the wild than we are aware of
How do we run down and catalog?
Wonder if it’s time for another poll
