Super cool!  I will be on.  I can field any questions or suggestions before
the telcon as well..

My questions are:

1.  What's up with "IsFsfLibre" .. it's in lots of licences but not in
SPDX.rdf
2.  Good examples of using SPDX for exchanges of other than license
information.
3.  Interest in National Information Exchange Model (NIEM) involvement -
publication of SPDX NIEM XSDs to NIEM repository.

Anticipated FAQ:
Why XML Schema?
 - Increased ability to tightly restrict content and automate validation
-  Implementation methodology that allows purpose-built XSD for specific
purposes while retaining logical data provenance with respect to a common
XSD.
 - The ability to apply security tags in accordance with US and NATO
standards.
-  Use SPDX for trusted data information exchanges
-  Can be used to leverage SPDX using XML Schema extension and restriction
without normative changes to SPDX.
-  National Information Exchange Model (NIEM) alignment - well suited for
RDF models.

Why Code Generation?
- Reduce human error for implementation
- Support continuous test / build environments

Why SPDX?
- Sufficiently generalized treatment for a Reference Schema
- Mature community, Comprehensive.
- License List represents a success model that can be repeated for other
things.
- Open Source

Pie?
- Like or not..

Thanks!
