## Tech Team Report - Gary/Kate/Thomas |
||
|
||
### Spec |
||
* SPDX 2.2.2 has been released |
||
* docs bugs have been resolved, and can be accessed at: https://spdx.github.io/spdx-spec/ |
||
* SPDX 2.3 is close to feature complete, we'll be declaring a release candidate in the next week, and generating ontologies for the tools to start trying it out. |
||
* Likely aiming to release in next couple of weeks |
||
* Documented in spdx-spec GitHub repo re: remaining tasks and activities |
||
* Only a couple items left impacting syntax of documents; hoping they'll be resolved this week, though can't commit b/c seeking consensus across multiple teams and time zones |
||
* Aiming to have a draft schema out w/in a week after consensus, to be available for review |
||
* Tooling folks then to update tools in parallel |
||
* A couple of big issues _separate from_ those impacting the syntax: e.g. license namespaces, licenses and snippets; intending to be compatible with existing syntax, but want to document in spec if adopting |
||
* SPDX 3.0 moving in parallel, revised model posted. |
||
* William leading up core profile team effort |
||
* Small list of outstanding items, will soon transition to documentation phase, moving from visual to written model |
||
* Defects profile, canonicalisation, usage profile |
||
* WG: AI BOM team meeting regularly, looking at defining how to define training data, data sets, etc., starting to work up minimal set of fields |
||
* focused on how to represent models and training data for models |
||
* WG: SPDX Implementers Group - meeting to discuss best practices around generating SPDX documents, meeting every other Wednesday |
||
* WG: Build data - Brandon Lum heading up recurring meeting, Monday nights European time |
||
* WG: Canonicalization - Meets on Friday, discussing the serializations for the 3.0 model. |
||
* Namespace discussions, additional meeting with Friday. |
||
* Desire to have working group meetings listed and calendar invites visible |
||
* Sebastian - looking to update wiki in short term, https://wiki.spdx.org/ |
||
* Gary - currently discussed primarily on tech team list |
||
* Jilayne - would it make sense to add meeting times to https://github.com/spdx/meetings -- main README |
||
|
||
## Legal Team Report - Jilayne/Paul/Steve |
||
* License List 3.17 released in May |
||
* Focus currently on discussion of cross-team topics for spec - license namespaces, etc. |
||
* Looking to get a bit more formalization on cross-team topics: |
||
* avoid multiple conversations on separate calls, look to have joint calls where appropriate |
||
* proposals for something significant and new: aim to be more disciplined in articulating what's being solved for, e.g. "problem statement" / "what is this trying to achieve"; articulate how this fits into the mission of the project |
||
* try to define the goals / problem statement before jumping to implementation |
||
* Namespace discussion tomorrow - https://lists.spdx.org/g/Spdx-tech/message/4539; please read first before coming to meeting |
