·         And some statements to push the SPDX docs to the repo

·         Future extensions

·         Pushing to GItHub as a commit

·         Other CI systems

·         Has been designed generically enough to be extensible to other languages and environments

 

Tech Team Report - Kate/Gary[edit]

·         Tooling

Legal Team Report - Jilayne/Paul[edit]

·         3.2 is out

·         Some clean up of old issues in process

·         Request to that legal folks try out Tushar’s tool

·         Exceptions

·         The term is imperfect as it handles some items that are not “exceptions” per se

·         Patent grants, for example

·         Considering changing the term to be more neutral and inclusive

·         “Modifiers” maybe? 

·         Will send an email to a wide audience get people thinking about it and set up a special meeting
