* Rose: Perhaps we write a blog post and link to the appendix in the spec so people googling for the answer can find it as well as those familiar with the spec.
* Gary: Should also add to the spdx examples repo. Having examples is more powerful for tooling implementers.
* Rose volunteers to write the minimum elements example and have Gary review it. Will plan to add it to the [examples repo](https://github.com/spdx/spdx-examples).

I think these are great ideas - very helpful materials for developers.


### Upcoming 2.3 SPDX release
* Is everyone ready for this?
* Gary: As soon as draft spec is out, would recommend trying to make changes so we can give feedback to spec team before the final draft.

REA will be ready to generate a Tag Value version of V 2.3 by June 1. REA will also be able to ingest V 2.3 Tag Value and JSON formatted files as well.

Also interested in testing the new ExternalRef SECURITY advisory url download, along with the NTIA minimum elements.

* Some required license fields are [changing to optional](https://github.com/spdx/spdx-spec/pull/635)
* Marc-Etienne: It would be nice to be able to choose which SPDX version to generate in the tools (i.e. 2.2 or 2.3) as some people might want to stay with ISO SPDX.
* Which tools can ingest more than one version of SPDX?
* The spdx java tools can; unsure about the go or python libraries

REA's SAG-PM currently supports V 2.2.1. V 2.3 support will be added, so both 2.2.1 and 2.3 will be supported.

* Let's start getting this populated. Open a PR in the repo if you want to add tools
* There's a lot of SPDX formats. From a tool provider this is great but if you are trying to write a document to understand all of them it can be a lot of work. What are people's opinion?
* JSON LD (Linked Data) is the leading format (slightly different than pure JSON)
* LD is an RDF serialization format

Any chance of a V 2.3 Docfest?

@rjb4standards that is the goal! Just waiting on 2.3 before we schedule anything :)
