Philip Odence #612 Arrgggh. Sorry for the volume. In my earlier note, I provided the wrong link for the Biz Team work looking to be reviewed. Use this one: http://spdx.org/wiki/spdx-vision-mission From: Michael Herzog <mjherzog@...> Organization: nexB Inc Reply-To: Michael Herzog <mjherzog@...> Date: Thu, 31 May 2012 09:28:02 -0700 To: Phil Odence <podence@...> Cc: "Manbeck, Jack" <j-manbeck2@...>, "Lamons, Scott" <scott.lamons@...>, Pierre Lapointe <plapointe@...> Subject: Re: May 31 General Meeting Minutes - IMPORTANT Phil, The latest version of the Vision-Mission discussion is a wiki-page at http://spdx.org/wiki/spdx-vision-mission, not the PDF file which has a lot of other topics from my original slides. The current Vision-Mission wiki-page includes the latest edits from the Business Team and focuses on the charter/vision/mission points without digging into the next level of points about product management roles and the organization in general. We probably need to work the discussion from the top down - agree on the Vision/Mission and whether our charter is to keep developing the spec or whether we expand to developing more software. cheers, Michael Michael J.

Attendance: 10 May 17 minutes approved Legal Team Report - Jilayne Finalizing work defining the team's mission purpose of License List that were published two weeks ago. Please comment now or hold your peace. Latest draft: Legal Work Group description: "The SPDX Legal Team supports and provides recommendations to the SPDX working groups regarding licensing issues for the specification itself; maintains the SPDX License List; and promotes the SPDX specification to the legal community at-large." SPDX License List description: "The SPDX License List is a list of commonly found open source software licenses for the purposes of being able to easily and efficiently identify such licenses in an SPDX document. The SPDX License List includes a standardized short identifier, full name for each license, vetted license text, other basic information, and a canonical permanent URL. By providing a short identifier, users can efficiently refer to a license without having to redundantly reproduce the full license." Have been providing input to 1.1 spec to incorporate latest thinking on License List and to ensure consistent vocabulary. Working to make sure new website content is up to date. Turning attention back to matching guidelines. Aiming to reach closure with 1.1 release (about a month) Business Team Report - Scott/Jack Business Team is eager for feedback from other team's on Mission/Vision. Looking to come to closure in the next few weeks. Expectation is that this will help with prioritization of use cases for the 2.0 effort. Latest version (embedded in a set of slides): http://www.spdx.org/system/files/spdx_mission_review_may_2012_v2.pdf Also, pulling together a description of Business Team's function. Scott has drafted and will be working on this in the next Business Team meeting. Technical Team Report - Kate 2.0 work A little over half the use cases have been fleshed out. Others are considering in a "graveyard" unless more work gets done on them. http://www.spdx.org/wiki/spdx-20-use-cases 1.1 work Hoping to bring to closure in the next few weeks. Near final draft to be posted next week, then open for two weeks of comment. Cross Functional Issues – Phil Website Update - Pierre The effort has been rejuvinated. Content is moving to the new staging area. Web team is ready to flip the switch when content is set. No date set.
