Hi SPDX-legal,
As you all are well aware, Fedora has adopted the use of SPDX ids in
its package metadata. So far, Fedora package maintainers have been
updating the license info for their packages at their own pace. To
speed things up a bit and offer some help on potential challenges,
Fedora-legal is holding a hackfest on April 26th.
I'd love to have a few SPDX-legal team members to help answer any
SPDX-related questions and potentially be able to add/review/make a
decision on new license submissions, if need be.
See details below.
(cc'ing tech team also, in case anyone is interested generally)
Thanks!

Fedora Legal will be conducting a hackfest on April 26, 2023 during a four
hour block. Information is on the SIGs calendar:
https://calendar.fedoraproject.org/SIGs/2023/4/26/
We will be focusing on the ELN package set in Fedora and preparing pull
requests for those packages to convert the License tag to a valid SPDX
expression. There will be a short presentation and [hopefully] a video
walking through an example package and the steps we want package
maintainers
to follow.
If you can make it, great! We expect to do more of these events in the
future.
What
Hackfest for updating the license field in ELN packages to SPDX license
expressions.
Date
Wednesday, April 26, 2023
Time
10:00 - 14:00 US eastern time
18:00 - 22:00 Central European time
Where
Google Meet: https://meet.google.com/fiu-jdzq-mws
(chat.fedoraproject.org information coming soon...awaiting new chat room)
How
There will be a short presentation for background and a demo on updating a
package to start, then we'll work on packages and be available for
questions and help.
We plan to have more events like this to help package maintainers convert
License tags in spec files to SPDX syntax.
Thanks,
