- While we all feel that V1.0 is a great step forward, some companies are feeling like they can not adopt SPDX until the 2.0 release which will add hierarchy and signing capability.
- There's been a lot of discussion over the last few months in the Business and Tech Teams about backward compatibility. In any development process, this requirement is a constraint on the next release. On the other hand, adopters of software (and specs) want the future comfort of a dedication to backward compatibility. For a variety of reasons, there has been a ton of great work, but little production adoption of 1.0. With 2.0 slated for release in August (fingers crossed), it's reasonable to revisit how strongly we want to emphasize backward compatibility.
Thanks Phil:
I have attached a couple of slides for our input to the discussion.

IMPORTANT
Kim is out next week, so in the time normally reserved for the Business Team meeting, we will have a dedicated discussion about an important topic that came up in the General Meeting: Adoption of SPDX. I encourage members of all teams to attend, if possible.
Before the upcoming public gatherings at which we will be presenting SPDX Collaboration Summit and the Forum, we want to get as much alignment as possible on the way we will talk about adoption and the SPDX roadmap. A couple specifics we discussed in the Thursday call:
- While we all feel that V1.0 is a great step forward, some companies are feeling like they can not adopt SPDX until the 2.0 release which will add hierarchy and signing capability.
- There's been a lot of discussion over the last few months in the Business and Tech Teams about backward compatibility.

With 2.0 slated for release in August (fingers crossed), it's reasonable to revisit how strongly we want to emphasize backward compatibility.
Should be a very interesting discussion and an important one to air before the upcoming meetings. An hour is short, so I don't expect detailed resolution, but we can make progress in that direction and get gauge sufficient to help speakers at the events represent the organization.
Best to all,

Folks:
Many thanks to those of you who participated in today’s meeting. I wanted to send out the wrap up next steps that I proposed and get feedback incase I missed, or misstated something.
The takeaways from today’s meeting that we all feel the team should address face to face during the Conference next week are:
1. To discuss roadmap and vision with a view to accelerating adoption and looking at a timeline for 2.x, 3.x and related objectives.
2. Take time to build on and review the use case thread started by Tech team last Tuesday and seek other pain points/concerns folks have.
3. Reflect on the Supply Chain Summit Agenda with points 1 and 2 in mind.
Looking forward to seeing those of you attending next week in person.
Regards
Steve

Steve,
This sounds really good to me. My only minor comment is that we should mostly focus on the objectives and use cases around 2.x and 3.x and not get too caught up on the timeline just yet. As someone else appropriately pointed out that will depend on the commitment and resources that can be brought to bear and it might serve to discourage adoption of 1.x where that makes sense for certain organizations.
Regards,
Scott
