Funding for Hosting On-Line SPDX Tools
|
Phil Odence
The SPDX Work Group needs your help to host on-line tools.
As you may know, SPDX runs on shoestring with support from the Linux Foundation but no corporate contributions. There are benefits to the independence this arrangement, but it means we rely on individual contributions to cover modest expenses we do take on. One of those regular expenses is for cloud services to host our wonderful set of on-line tools.
We spend $1200/year on hosting. We’d like to line up enough funding to backfill for this year and to build a balance of “money in the bank” to ensure continuity next year. So the goal is $2400 total. As of this writing we are approaching half way there.
Please make a contribution of any size through the Linux Foundation CommunityBridge at: https://funding.communitybridge.org/projects/f0e320d6-9c86-4656-ad4d-97842f25b124
BIG THANKS in advance!

Is SPDX using AWS for any hosting? I can probably get gratis AWS credits provided to SPDX.
And since SPDX is using Github, then Github pages can be used to host HTML/CSS/JS

Hi Mark,
Yes – SPDX is using AWS for the hosting (see https://github.com/spdx/spdx-online-tools/issues/194 for a discussion on the hosting options).
The deployment is a bit complex (Java/Python/Django/PostgreSQL).
Any credits/help is appreciated.
I registered the account that is hosting the site – so feel free to contact me for additional details.

Rewriting this to a simpler setup is definitely a valid idea for a future Community Bridge / GSoC project. 😉

Speaking of which, would someone be willing to do 10~15 minutes on ComminityBridge for a forthcoming OpenChain webinar? Shane On Aug 5, 2020, at 20:26, Alexios Zavras <alexios.zavras@...> wrote:

I actually tried to implement this in a serverless environment (it was my first choice), but there is persistent state required for some of the components. As Alexios points out – a good future project.
The PostgreSQL is necessary as a DB backend. It also uses Redis – but this doesn’t seem to add too much complexity. We have some projects underway to reduce the dependency on Java – it would be great to make this all python sometime in the future.
BTW – Anyone interested in reviewing and contributing can review the issues listed here: https://github.com/spdx/spdx-online-tools/issues/199

Hi Shane,
There are a couple of community bridge related topics we could cover.
For the SPDX online tools, I’m planning on presenting to the OpenChain tools workgroup in Sept.
We could also present as part of a webinar.
Another interesting topic would be the work the interns and GSoC students are doing for the tools more generally.
We have a number of mentors and students involved – perhaps some of the mentors would be interested in jointly presenting?

It would be great. How about Third Monday August at 5pm Pacific? We can do one to two slots on CommunityBridge stuff, each up to 15 minutes + questions.

Can you help pull it together? I would love to showcase the practical stuff happening. Shane On Aug 6, 2020, at 2:18, Gary O'Neall <gary@...> wrote: |
