GSoC

  • Several proposals submitted and being reviewed
  • Need to merge ideas 4.1 and 4.2 since 4.1 is not significant enough
  • Need to process the pull requests for the Python libraries

Namespaces

  • Agree to standard order DNS – agree with Alexios comment
  • Need to add Pull Request to add flat namespaces
  • Should also accept DNS names in the namespace registry – but need to consider the DNS names are “owned” by the DNS owner – maybe a checkbox
  • Link to licenses – would be a web accessible repository of SPDX documents describing the licenses (optional)
  • contrib, contrib.spdx.org – relate to a local repository – policy decision
  • library to support local repository of XML documents -
  • XML or JSON – or SPDX document – URL to SPDX document, XML
  • XML external reference links
  • Reviewed name space syntax issues
  • Philippe has concerns on the readability, but agreed we could move forward with the proposal
  • Identified the specification needs to be updated since license text will not be in the document for LicenseRef-[namespaces]
  • issue #113 updated based on discussion: https://github.com/spdx/spdx-spec/issues/113
  • Gary will update the project ideas based on today’s discussion
  • A pull request will be created to update the spec for 2.2
