SPDX General Meeting Minutes and New Schedule

Philip Odence
 

Here are the meeting minutes from the January 10 General Meeting:

Going forward, we will go to a monthly schedule for the General Meeting. Recall that the purpose of the General Meeting is simply for each group to report out on progress, and the feeling is that a monthly reporting is sufficient. I will continue to issue minutes to the list and encourage anyone with interest in SPDX to sign up for this list to receive a monthly summary. We keep the traffic on this list low so as not to be burdensome to folks who just want to keep their fingers on the pulse. The real work gets done on the respective team lists.

So, going forward, the General Meetings will be held at the same time, 11am US Eastern, on the first Thursday of every month. The next one is February 7. I have not historically, used a calendar invite, but that is becoming a custom of the teams, so I will follow suit. Please don't respond to me, as this is a big list and I don’t want to be flooded with responses.

Lastly, let me put in a plug for a couple of volunteers to work with Jack on maintaining the website. This is not a big commitment, probably no more than a few hours a week, but it would be very helpful. Let know if you have any interest.

Best,
Phil

SPDX examples and demo

Mark Gisi
 

At the Linux Foundation’s Open Compliance Summit last October, we received several requests for SPDX file examples and a demo of SPDX file generation. Here is a web page that makes these resources available:

       http://spdx.windriver.com

 

To facilitate the adoption of SPDX we hope to add more examples and demos over the coming months.

Thursday SPDX General Meeting

Philip Odence
 

Welcome back to the New Year.

Some special notices:
  • Please check out the minutes of the last meeting. There were some great inputs from Adam Cohen and Mark Gisi's trip to Japan and Jack's trip to Nebraska: http://spdx.org/wiki/20121129-general-meeting-minutes
  • Meeting Scheduling:
    • General Meeting will move to once per month
    • Business and Legal Teams 
      • Both looking at rescheduling (although retaining the semi-monthly rhythm)
      • Both will be trying to drive more work to the mailing list, so potentially shorter or fewer meetings in the future
    • We really need someone(s) to help Jack out with administration of the website. Helping will not be a huge time sink, but is sorely needed. Please let me know if you are interested and I'll provide more info.

Meeting Time: Thursday, Jan 10, 8am PST / 10 am CST / 11am EST / 15:00 UTC. http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html

I am not sure what the current procedure is, but yeah, we hope that our
study can help improve the matching of BSDs and MITs.

Taxonomy to classify types of software licences

stijn.goedertier@...
 

Hi all,

I would like to bring to your attention that the AMDS.SW Working Group has released 9 software taxonomies  under an open licence with multilingual labels in 7 languages. These taxonomies [3] include:  Licence Type, Intended Audience, Natural Language, Operating System, Programming Language,Status, Topic, User Interface / Graphical Environment, and Publisher Type.

I think especially the Licence Type taxonomy could be of particular interest to the SPDX community. The taxonomies can be viewed on this web page:
https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/svn/adms_foss/amds_sw_taxonomies/ADMS_SW_v1.00_Taxonomies.html
and can be downloaded here:
https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/asset/adms_foss/release/release100

The taxonomies are represented in a machine readable format: the SKOS standard of W3C. The majority of these taxonomies were originally made available in March 2012 by SourceForge under CC BY 3.0 [2]. We hope that the use of common taxonomies to categorise software will contribute to making software better searchable on the Web.

with kind regards,
Stijn

Re: licensing data of FOSS

Really nice work Daniel, thanks for pointing it out. :)

Looking forward to seeing the SPDX files being generated, but this is going to definitely be handy to do some cross referencing with, as is.

Hi everybody,

We are trying to create a Web site where we publish the
licensing data
of open source applications. This is work in progress, and
it needs
work.

We are trying to analyze different versions of applications
that appear
in Debian. Each app is broken down by license (as identified
by Ninka.

For example, zlib:


http://ag.cs.uvic.ca/project/1114/files/1/

or sqlite

http://ag.cs.uvic.ca/project/1302/files/1/

You can navigate the applications here:

http://ag.cs.uvic.ca/


Hopefully this will help in the development of SPDX.
