Hi Oliver,
Indeed, Phil is right - all are welcome!
Any discussion around a decision would be recorded in the relevant meeting minutes, but the best way to participate is of course to join the meetings, as meeting minutes often summarize any discussion.
Cheers, Jilayne

Hi Phil, thanks that would really help. If it is not a requirement to be a lawyer, then I will be happy to participate in the legal team, as well as in the technical team. You are right the time is sometimes a problem but also I understand your restrictions. Best regards Oliver Oliver Fendt

Juli 2014 13:13 An: Fendt, Oliver; Kate Stewart; spdx@... Betreff: Re: AW: Thursday SPDX General Meeting Reminder Thank you for the clarification Oliver. This kind of feedback it very helpful. We try out best to lay out the inclusion criteria here: Also, it would be great if you, or someone from Siemens, would participate in our Legal Team meetings. In fact, we would welcome participation from Siemens on all of our teams. We try to schedule at times that are not too difficult for CET and if Europe participation increases, we are willing to look at moving the meeting, although we need to be mindful of having heavy west coast US participation as well. Vice President and General Manager 8 New England Executive Park, Suite 211, Burlington MA 01803 Phone: 781.810.1819, Mobile: 781.258.9502 Hi all, sorry for not being able to participate yesterday in the conf call. I want to comment on one topic of the last minutes. The topic is: “ o Mikael delivered a workshop at Siemens They didn't understand license request process Mikael encouraged them to participate in SPDX “ I want to thank Mikael for the presentation. He did a very well job and gave us an interesting talk although he had a flue. In the Q&A part of his talk, I raised the point that at least for me the criteria a license has to fulfill to be accepted for inclusion in the SPDX® license list is not really transparent to me. In the past I submitted several licenses, some were accepted and some not. That’s totally ok but and the reasons for not accepting those were not transparent to me, like “this is not really an Open Source license” although already some creative commons license instances are in the SPDX license list which are not compliant to the open source definition as well. Another license was not accepted because it has no version number. When I raised the point to Mikael I wanted to express that the process for submission is quite clear and we understand it, because it is well described. But it is not described what criteria are checked by the team in charge in order to decide whether the license will be included or not. It would really help (at least me) if these criteria are described because this would help me to save effort and submit in future only those which will meet al criteria. I hope that the topic of the minutes is bit more clear now regards Oliver Siemens AG Corporate Technology CT BE OP SWI OSS Otto-Hahn-Ring 6 81739 München, Deutschland Tel: +49 89 636-46033 mailto:oliver.fendt@... Appologies, have a work conflict today and not able to join in. Technical team activities: - work continues on spec. Have resolved out file types, file usage portions. - decision made to not include the RDF vocabulary in the SPEC going forward, Gary is was having issues regenerating it in form suitable for inclusion, and prefers to go with a different tool in future. Spec will be the master and refer to a static version, that will be on web site.
