Hi all, since activities have shifted from the testbed to the Python tools, we'd like to repurpose the weekly meeting that was announced in the attached email. Going forward, it will be a combined meeting for the testbed and the Python tools, with strong focus on the latter for the time being. Anyone interested in discussing the current state and upcoming plans is welcome to join!
For convenience: https://zoom.us/j/98741582779 Thursdays 5.30pm-6pm CEST (8.30am-9am PST) Best, Nico On Thu, 2022-10-20 at 06:39 -0700, Nicolaus Weidner via lists.spdx.org wrote: > Hi all, > > we're happy to announce a new SPDX-related project, the testbed.
