Yes -- it will be a bit of a ride. The Caltrain drops you off in Central
San Jose. Cisco is on the very east side of San Jose.

Take Caltrain from San Francisco, then transfer to VTA Light Rail (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VTA_light_rail ), get out at Cisco Way (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cisco_Way_%28VTA%29 ), walk.
I must be missing something obvious here. I spent a bit of time looking
at the Caltrain and VTA websites (and transit.511.org).

Caltrain from San Francisco Station to Mountain View Station takes 45
minutes on one of the morning 'express' routes. It would then take 40
minutes or so of light rail, bus and walking to get to Cisco Way.
Alternatively Caltrain can take you all the way to Tamien Station, and
then a single light rail ride will take you to Cisco way, but again the
total time is over two hours.

However, make sure you have some cash for tickets, just in case. Last year the CalTrain vending machines in San Francisco refused my Dutch creditcard (it's MasterCard, so should have worked). Luckily I had foreseen that and had backup cash.

There is the Caltrain. From Union Square it's a long-ish walk to the train
station or you can take a quick cab ride.

There is light rail in San Jose that goes right up Tasman drive by Cisco.
I'll check into whether it goes to the San Jose Caltrain station -- I assume
it does.

By the time you do the walk/train/light rail it will be a fairly lengthy
trip, although driving at that time in the morning can be pretty heavy
traffic as well.

You could also head down to San Jose Thursday night and stay at a hotel
closer to the location of the Forum.

I have just requested an invitation, as has our in-house counsel, and we're really looking forward to getting involved in the SPDX effort.

However, I noticed that the response to my invitation request said it could take up to 10 business days to be approved (or denied). Given that we need to schedule travel as soon as we can in order to minimize costs, I'm wondering if it's really going to take that long. Ten business days from today is the 22nd, which is less than two weeks before the event.

FWIW, Fossology uses Eclipse_v1.0 but I think EPL works as well and folks
would get use to it over time. My primary question/concern is the effect
of
changes like this on backward compatibility and general user confusion.
On
the other hand, if we are going to change it I suppose now is the time
since
there is probably not a lot of SPDX 1.0 implemented yet.

Thanks Mike,



The Eclipse Foundation certainly gets the big vote regarding how
their license is referred to.



My experience is primarily commercial ISVs in the tools space, about
a dozen, ranging in yearly revenue from $50M to $500M. In written
correspondence over a period of several years, the phrase "Eclipse
1.0" is used more than 15x "EPL 1.0". The folks using the ²Eclipse
1.0² term have included many substantial contributors to the Eclipse
project (for instance, Borland Software).



Let¹s let this cook for one more day.



If the feedback continues as it has, I¹ll simply withdraw the
request. Like you, I am surprised at the disparity in usage of the
abbreviated term ­ I rarely see EPL, and assumed that this
suggestion would pass through the SPDX group as more of an FYI.



Thanks again -- it is great to have community postings so the
broadest view is represented.

Tom,



FWIW, It is certainly news to me that people refer to the EPL as

have literally never heard it referred to as Eclipse.



I don't have a strong feeling about this one way or another. I just

Subject: Recommend Changing SPDX License Identifier for Eclipse
Public License
1.0 to "Eclipse-1.0"



Hello SPDX license list interested parties,



I would like to propose that we change the License Identifier for
the Eclipse Public License 1.0 on the SPDX License List from
³EPL-1.0² to ³Eclipse-1.0².



I suggest this because ³Eclipse² is how the license is commonly
referred
to.



Secondarily, I have recently received 2 calls when documents
referred to EPL-1.0, and the Identifier was simply not visually
recognized by the user (yes, they could have clicked the link, but
if Eclipse is the common usage, let¹s go with it unless there is a
cost).



Any concerns?



Thanks,



Tom

Re: Recommend Changing SPDX License Identifier for Eclipse PublicLicense 1.0 to "Eclipse-1.0"

Lamons, Scott (Open Source Program Office) <scott.lamons@...>
 

FWIW, Fossology uses Eclipse_v1.0 but I think EPL works as well and folks would get use to it over time. My primary question/concern is the effect of changes like this on backward compatibility and general user confusion. On the other hand, if we are going to change it I suppose now is the time since there is probably not a lot of SPDX 1.0 implemented yet.

The Eclipse Foundation certainly gets the big vote regarding how
their license is referred to.



My experience is primarily commercial ISVs in the tools space, about
a dozen, ranging in yearly revenue from $50M to $500M. In written
correspondence over a period of several years, the phrase "Eclipse
1.0" is used more than 15x "EPL 1.0". The folks using the ²Eclipse
1.0² term have included many substantial contributors to the Eclipse project
(for instance, Borland Software).



Let¹s let this cook for one more day.



If the feedback continues as it has, I¹ll simply withdraw the

Just as an amusing followup, today I was on an email thread where someone
referred to the EPL as "an Eclipse license". But I think that must reflect the
person's relative lack of familiarity with the EPL. In the same thread everyone
else referred to it as the EPL.

Actually, come to think of it, "an Eclipse license" is technically not incorrect
since the Eclipse Foundation has at least one other Eclipse branded license,
the Eclipse Distribution License 1.0 -- though this is essentially identical to the
3-clause BSD license and may be entirley identical in an SPDX sense. But it
also shows that it could be misleading to refer to the EPL as "Eclipse 1.0" since
there *is* another Eclipse 1.0 license. :)

Info on SPDX participation at LF Collab Summit (April 3-5)

Kim Weins
 


Hi all,

Here are the details that are shaping up for the Collab Summit.  The schedule is not finalized, so there could be some changes, but here is what we know as of now.

  • We will have an SPDX overview session (presented by Mark Gisi) most likely as part of the legal track on Wednesday.
    • Legal track is being organized by Bradley Kuhn
  • We may get an opportunity to be part of the keynote (still TBD)
  • We will have a room all day Thursday for our face-to-face meetings
  • We are trying to get a smaller room for the tech team for a half day on Wed..  We're not sure if we will get this or not.  If we do, it will be at the same time as the Legal track on Wednesday -- so you would have to choose between the legal track or the tech team meeting.

LF should be posting the schedule next week on the website.

We will need to develop an agenda for what we want to cover on Thursday.  I assume we will want some time for each of the workstreams.

Kim
