May SPDX General Meeting Minutes

Philip Odence
 

First, SPDX 2.0 has been released and is available on the website. A press release should be doing out very soon, if not today. As soon as that happens Jack will post a blog with a link to the release. Congrats and thanks to all who contributed to both the specification and the new release of the license list.


Best,
Phil
