• Minutes of May meeting approved

UNO - Matt Germonprez[edit]

• Tools
  • DoSOCS - evolved from Yacto tool
    • Generalized to create ways of generating SPDX docs from various dev processes
    • Resulted DoSOCS- Ways to scan packages and repos (now source, but in theory binary) to generate SPDX
      • Main use case is generating SPDX 2.0 docs
      • Store in a relational database - trick was mapping obj-oriented SPDX to rel database
      • Very generic. Even on the back end; developed with FOSSology, but could plug in commercial scanners
      • Future- intake of SPDX
      • Idea is that this will eventually pull in all tools Git, Yacto, etc
      • And, can be tied into Jenkins
      • Ultimately will support an enterprise process to maintain a inventory of SPDX docs that come out of their processes
    • Also exploring production of security vulnerability info
      • Looking for where vulnerability info could be stored.
      • Need a spot for CPE (and other common ID standards)
      • Which would allow for vulnerability info
      • Tech team has been pursuing this idea
      • Group needs to address the mission creep issue
  • Git Scanner
    • Analyzes branch and contributes SPDX doc
  • Eclipse Plug In
