GSoC students - the mentors started comparing notes yesterday in the SPDX tech meeting (of which you're welcome to attend) and one of the best practices that we've noticed is that one of the mentees is keeping of a daily log document, shared with mentors. In that document, open questions can be captured, and reviewed before meetings, by mentors as well as ad hoc. Feel free to do this in a document on github, or a google document, as you prefer.
@SantiagoTorres Please do you have any experience with that?
Can anyone help me find the JSON layout for the SPDX spec?
@tjasmith I just reviewed your last PR - looks like you fixed the NPE :) I'm thinking the performance is good enough for now if you want to work on the license matching, but if you want to implement some of the suggested performance improvements I'll hold off merging - just let me know.
@pombredanne I am now moving onto the Ruby plugin.

you mean to make a release?
I will need to review in details the changes there before we can make a release IMHO
Ok... I have seen your suggestions on the Python tool...
It is OK for you to release it on PyPI :) you can add me to PyPI as authorized on that package ... I am pombredanne there
Hello everyone, I was working on updating json (&related formats) in python tool for parsing. I prepared a list of differences between the examples on which previous python parser is build and v2.2 changes. The list is long, moreover the main difference is in
documentDescribeswhich previously had packages and files inside it. So, as I am willing to change it, but then it will make the python tool to not work with previous files ( which is based on v1.x)
What should I do in this case ? @goneall
@Yash-Varshney Thanks for the analysis. Please add the list of differences as one or more issues - that way I can review/comment more of the specifics. For compatibility, you can use the SPDX spec version and execute different code based on the version. For the Java tools, I only maintain compatibility for reading the files - writing is only supported in the latest major version.
Welcome @im-sakshijain - we have a number of active projects in our primary git repository spdx.github.com - feel free to review the repos and contribute. The main SPDX website is https://spdx.dev There is a good tutorial on SPDX at https://github.com/david-a-wheeler/spdx-tutorial/
@goneall @pombredanne as the gsoc session is approaching, I just saw the mail regarding the meeting with Aveek Basu. I think it is really a good idea to give assignments to interested mentees as an evaluation ( similar prodecure is followed in OpenPrinting ), also last year Aveek came into my college for a talk which really encouraged students and made them interested towards OpenPrinting.
I can raise some beginners as well as intermediate issues in python tool (if needed)
