“SPDX Lite”- Hiroyuki Fukuchi from Sony will present a proposal from the OpenChain Japan Workgroup on a slimmed down version of an SPDX doc. Big thanks to Fukuchi-san for joining us at this hour which is not very convenient for him.

We may also have another GSoC presentation; still working on that.

Fukuchi-san,

This sounds like a great idea.

I will contact you about this.

Best regards,

Hi Phil-san and all,

My name is Hiro Fukuchi from Sony.

I am a member of the OpenChain project Japan workgroup.

Can I join the next uberconference and explain about the background of the “SPDX Lite” which is being proposed by Japan workgroup.

I am creating the slides for explanation.

·         Umang

·         License submittal workflow automation

·         Aim is to enhance user experience

·         Compare submitted text against existing licenses to see if there’s duplication or close match

·         Problems he’s trying address

·         What if the license is on the list, proposed, rejected…or a close match to one of those

·         Current XML formatting- word-wrap doesn’t match license

·         Also creating/documenting an API

·         Tasks:

·         Create API- use without logging in, so can be accessed by other tools

·         Create License Matcher- looks for exact and close matches

·         Returns all matches and close matches

·         Compare with not accepted as well as rejected licenses. 

·         Reports appropriately according to match

·         Relies on user input regarding whether to go ahead with submittal

·         Improve formatting of generated license

·         Screenshots available at: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NMcLZVXxBV2PZobPJh1OugbCfC2d8kbAOX4m4TauEYk/edit?usp=sharing

·         Some discussion of how the workflow should work with close matches

·         Aiming for demo in future Legal Team meeting

·         Tanjong

·         License namespace

·         A way to name valid licenses outside of the License List

·         Created namespace and UI

·         Also a mechanism for turning into a license request

·         Took feedback from the joint/legal team meeting

·         Spec

·         Progress on Appendix for including other fields in the source like the license ID

·         Keeping scope at file level

·         Tags with SPDX prefix

·         Allows to make it easier for tools to pick up.

·         Source file analysis

·         Philip demoed

·         Heavy testing mode

·         Tools

·         GSoC

·         Continues to go very well

·         All students passed second evaluation

·         Looking for feedback from community:

·         License matching algorithm approaches

·         Some encoded rules

·         Some depended on XML markup

·         Should we encode in XML or handle programmatically? (Discuss with Gary)

·         License List

·         3.6 version went out last month

·         Working issues in 3.7

·         Good input/support from Tech Team

·         Recent meetings have been joint with Tech Team

Please excuse the later reminder. I was shocked this morning to notice it’s August already. Was thinking we had a week.

We will be joined by at least one, maybe two, of our Google SoC students to present their work. Please join.

Title: GSoC Project: Addtional format support for Python libraries

Abstract: The GSoC Project Addtional format support for Python libraries initially implied adding support for JSON/XML/YAML formats to the SPDX Python Library, but now some additional work will be done. In this presentation, it will be covered what the project currently entails, where we are and what it is next.

·         Spec No issues remaining to latest spec, 8 GOSC students approved and working. Looking forward to new tools this summer. Lots of new projects adopting SPDX and Linux kernel clean up of licensing still working (about 2/3 through). Making great progress.

·         Tools

·         License List 

·         GSOC student on last call. Great information. Legal Meeting minutes has the description, take a look if you are interested or would like to provide input.

·         Reworking the license inclusion guidelines and moving into github repository in the documentation folder. Please weigh in if you are interested in more licenses. Still looking for more volunteers to move license submissions into license approvals. 

·         A big welcome to new co-lead of legal team Steve Winslow and a big thank you to Karen for her years of stewardship as she steps away from the co-lead position.

·         Not a lot going on now, but working on a survey. Intention is to send the survey to companies to see where they are at in using/implementing SPDX. Maybe include some community in survey, but not sure yet.

·         Conversation: are we meeting for summer LF event in SD. Not currently, but Kate will look into getting meeting room for ½ day, etc. Jack, Paul, Kate, Steve and others are potentially available to attend at least one day in SD.
