At the #AboutCode SBOM tools workshop we talked about creating a way of continuing the discussions. I've just created a #SBOM-tools slack channel in the @orcwg space. Join us to discuss #SBOM tools and interoperability!

Finally, complete the v1 of spdxconv.

spdxconv is a program to convert existing licenses and copyrights into #SPDX identifiers or insert new ones. This program works in tandem with #reuse software.

Features:

* REUSE Integration: Detects annotations from REUSE.toml.
* Customizable Defaults: Set default license identifiers and copyright holders.
* Smart Comments: Customizable patterns to set comment syntax ...

See https://git.sr.ht/~shulhan/spdxconv/ for more information.

PEP 770 was accepted in April of this year, what has happened since then?

* Published a white paper on PEP 770 and phantom dependencies
* Auditwheel, manylinux, and cibuildwheel adoption
* Over 300 projects already ship with PEP 770 SBOM data
* Fedora and Red Hat adopted PEP 770 for Python packages

PEP 770 Software Bill‑of‑Materials (SBOM) data from PyPI, Fedora, and Red Hat

This year I authored PEP 770 which proposed a new standardized location for Software Bill-of-Materials (SBOM) data within Python wheel archives. SBOM data can now be stored in (package)-(version).d...

"The data may be serialized in a variety of formats for storage and transmission."

"Canonical serialization is in JSON format"+ extra conditions.

Is it just me or is that really, really stupid.

How hard do you have to miss the point of defining a standard, when the output data needs further specification.

Needlessly too.

"No line breaks"

Your (standard) parser can't handle line breaks or what?!?

Naslednje #Kiberpipa srečanje bo

v četrtek, 11.12. ob 17h
v @muzej|u in sicer:

• najprej bo @hook vodil delavnico o #REUSE dobrih praksah za označevanje svoje programske kode z #SPDX standardnimi oznakami za avtorstvo in licence. (bring your own code)

• nato bosta @franga2000 in anze@treehouse.systems predstavila kako deluje Zakon o dostopu do javnih informacij (#ZDIJZ) v praksi.

The SPDX community is now creating a new list — similar to the SPDX License List — but focused on cryptographic algorithms. This post shares how this effort started, its current status, the next steps, and a final call for participation.
