SPDX Thursday General Meeting Reminder - SPECIAL MEETING
|
Phil Odence
Thanks, Sebastian for your thoughts, support and understanding.
Regarding licensing, my sense was that your desire to make the spec easy to publish is covered by the proposed licensing scheme. Perhaps you and Steve could discuss to resolve.
Regarding the Code of Conduct. I think we’ve forked it from the upstream with which you are concerned and, in any case, the option to improve upon in the future exists.
Best, Phil

Dear all,
During today's General Meeting, in which the Core Team presented a proposal to improve the governance of SPDX, I brought up a few suggestions to the current proposal. Going into the meeting I did not fully grasp that, under the current governance model, the proposal would have to be accepted by the working group as a whole - thus consensus would need to be reached before additional suggestions. Thank you to Steve and Phil for explaining this! I think it would be good to have a discussion at some point on the Code of Conduct and of the licensing of the SPDX specification, to maybe iterate further on the already excellent proposal. For the record, and the reason for sending this email, I wanted to state that I'm very much in support of the proposal as it is now, and would not consider my concerns blockers here! Thanks again to the members of the Core Team who've put the time and effort into creating the proposal. Best wishes, Sebastian |

We will deviate from our usual standing agenda for this special meeting. We will start with a presentation from a Google Summer of Code student (see topic below) and then will pick up the discussion of the SPDX Governance change with the aim of reaching consensus and moving forward.
I encourage you to read through the attached. Steve will give a very quick overview and can answer questions, but we will assume participants of read the pdf of not all the details referenced. And as a reminder, here’s the context I provided last week: SPDX Community, As previewed in the June General Meeting, the Core Team has submitted a proposal for changing the governance of SPDX. The reasoning for the change and substance are the same as what we discussed in that meeting. However, we have simplified the implementation considerably. Importantly, the project will continue to operate day to day as we have for over a decade but with better defined governance. Attached is a document that summarizes the proposal and provide links to the details. In the second half of next Thursday’s General Meeting we will try to reach consensus on the proposal. In the meantime, once you have studied the matter, provide feedback or raise any questions on this thread. (Note, the many of the details are housed in a GitHub repo but again comments/questions go here.) If we do not reach consensus on Thursday, we may hold the discussion over to the following meeting. Best regards, Phil
