Gary O’Neall of Source Auditor talked about how the new SPDX Services Profile proposal structures information. This profile is likely to have an important on business process management, as it covers topics far beyond open source compliance, with one example being fields for topics like Export Control. Gary’s deep background as a core contributor to the SPDX Project allowed him to contextualize this discussion from a historical perspective.

Philippe Ombredanne from nexB will lead an overview of the FOSDEM conference held in Brussels on the 3rd and 4th of February 2024. This builds on his webinar covering the same topic last year, and it will be an excellent way to understand the conversations, presentations and knowledge shared by attendees.

Caren Kresse from OSADL talks about sharing and reusing publicly available FOSS compliance material, as provided by the OSSelot project (https://www.osselot.org/), which requires trust in the reliability of the data. Such trust can be fostered by ensuring high quality and consistency of the data through a standardized curation process and strict review of all contributions. This presentation will demonstrate the curation process for the OSSelot project, present the resulting material, and give an example of how a contribution is reviewed.
