 This proposal outlines the implementation approach for **GEODE-10481**: adding 
automated SBOM generation to Apache Geode to enhance supply chain security, 
meet enterprise compliance requirements, and improve dependency transparency.
 
 **Key Decisions:**
-- **Tool Choice**: CycloneDX Gradle Plugin (instead of SPDX) for superior 
multi-module support
+- **Tool Choice**: CycloneDX Gradle Plugin (instead of SPDX) for superior 
multi-module support and Gradle 8.5+ compatibility
 - **CI/CD Approach**: GitHub Actions-focused (future-ready, no Concourse 
dependency)
 - **Format**: JSON primary with SPDX export capability when needed
-- **Integration**: Minimal build impact (<3% overhead) with parallel generation
+- **Integration**: Context-aware generation with minimal build impact (<3% 
overhead)
+- **ASF Compliance**: Aligned with Apache Software Foundation SBOM standards 
and signing requirements
 
 **Expected Outcomes:**
 - 100% dependency visibility across 30+ Geode modules
-- Enterprise-ready SBOM artifacts for all releases
+- Enterprise-ready SBOM artifacts for all releases with ASF-compliant signing
+- Context-aware generation (optional for dev builds, automatic for CI/releases)
 - Automated vulnerability scanning integration
 - Zero disruption to existing development workflows
+- Future-ready for Java 21+ and Gradle 8.5+ migration

+### SBOM Generation Strategy & Context-Aware Approach
+
+Based on community feedback, the implementation provides flexible SBOM 
generation that adapts to different build contexts:
+
+#### Generation Contexts
+
+| Build Context | SBOM Generation | Rationale |
+|---------------|----------------|-----------|
+| **Developer Local Builds** | Optional (default: disabled) | Zero workflow 
disruption, `./gradlew build` unchanged |
+| **CI/CD Builds** | Automatic via `generateSbom` task | Continuous security 
monitoring and validation |
+| **Release Builds** | Mandatory inclusion in distribution artifacts | 
Enterprise compliance and supply chain transparency |
+| **On-Demand** | `./gradlew generateSbom` available anytime | Debugging, 
security analysis, compliance audits |
+
+#### Context Detection Logic
+```gradle
+// Automatic context detection in build.gradle
+def isCI = System.getenv("CI") == "true"
+def isRelease = gradle.startParameter.taskNames.any { it.contains("release") 
|| it.contains("distribution") }
+def isExplicitSbom = gradle.startParameter.taskNames.contains("generateSbom")
+
+// Enable SBOM generation based on context
+cyclonedxBom.enabled = isCI || isRelease || isExplicitSbom
+```
+
+### ASF SBOM Standards Alignment
+
+Following the Apache Software Foundation's emerging SBOM requirements and 
[draft position](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/COMDEV/SBOM), this 
implementation ensures:
+
+#### Core ASF Requirements Compliance
+
+| ASF Requirement | Implementation Approach | Validation Method |
+|----------------|------------------------|-------------------|
+| **Automatic Generation at Build Time** | ✅ Integrated into Gradle build 
lifecycle | CI/CD pipeline validation |
+| **Signed with Release Keys** | ✅ GPG signing integration with existing 
Apache release process | Signature verification testing |
+| **Static/Immutable Post-Release** | ✅ Deterministic generation from 
dependency lock state | Reproducible build validation |
+| **Machine Readable Format** | ✅ CycloneDX JSON with SPDX export capability | 
Format compliance testing |
+
+#### Enhanced Security & Compliance Features
+
+- **Deterministic Generation**: SBOMs generated consistently across 
environments using locked dependency versions
+- **Integrity Protection**: SBOM artifacts signed with same GPG keys used for 
Apache releases
+- **ASF Tooling Compatibility**: Validated with Apache Whimsy and other ASF 
infrastructure tools
+- **Audit Trail**: Complete build provenance tracking for compliance reporting

+#### 4.1 Gradle 8.5+ and Java 21+ Compatibility Validation
+
+**Compatibility Assessment Strategy:**
+Based on community feedback, Gradle 8.5 and Java 21+ compatibility will be 
assessed during implementation rather than requiring upfront validation. This 
approach provides:
+
+- **Flexibility**: Allows implementation to proceed without blocking on future 
Gradle versions
+- **Validation During Migration**: Compatibility testing integrated into the 
natural upgrade path
+- **Fallback Options**: Modular architecture allows plugin swapping if needed

+  - [ ] Prepare for community adoption and maintenance
+  - [ ] Execute complete validation suite and community review integration
+
+**Phase Deliverable**: Production-ready SBOM implementation with community 
approval
+
+## Current Priorities
+1. **Next Action**: Begin Phase 1 - Foundation & Infrastructure (PRs 1-2)
+2. **Focus Area**: Establishing safe SBOM infrastructure and intelligent 
generation logic
+3. **Risk Management**: Ensure all changes are feature-flagged and reversible
+4. **New Structure**: 6 logical phases with meaningful groupings of related 
work
+
+## Notes
+- Each phase represents a logical grouping of related work (2-3 PRs per phase)
+- All PRs within phases should maintain backward compatibility
+- Each PR should be independently testable and deployable
+- Performance impact should be measured at each step
+- Community feedback should be incorporated throughout the process
+- Clear phase deliverables defined to measure progress toward complete solution
+
+## Dependencies Tracking
+- [ ] CycloneDX Gradle Plugin 3.0+ availability confirmed
+- [ ] GitHub Actions runner compatibility verified
+- [ ] GPG signing infrastructure access confirmed
+- [ ] Security scanning tool integration capabilities verified
+
+## Success Metrics
+- Build time impact: <3% increase target
+- Test coverage: >90% for new functionality
+- Zero regression in existing functionality
+- Complete ASF compliance achievement
+- Community adoption and feedback integration
