Update on open source project list

Cindy Lee provided Mr. Mertic the following update via email as she was unable to attend the meeting:

“The package distro searching tool (IBM internal use only) has info from 3 distros now and I would like to get legal clearance on whether I'm allowed to re-distribute package list info for at least 1 before I proceed with externalizing the tool or open sourcing it. I got in touch with all 3 distros and my latest updates are:

  • RHEL: Got a NO from them

  • SLES: Has been talking to Mike Friesenegger from your group and have good conversation but Mike is away now. Will book a meeting with him once he become available.

  • Ubuntu: Have email exchange and sounds positive but still waiting for an official answer from them.”
