OASIS Common Security Advisory Framework (CSAF) TC

Dear TC members, just two small notes on our minutes of meeting: 1. a nit: In the August minutes I see SBOMB but although I am sure we all of kind believe in the usefulness of SBOMs - they are not bombs but the acronym stands for: Software Bill of Materials 2. I kind of miss the draft of the minutes for the September meeting. 3. We transitioned to providing these minutes from PDF to Microsoft Word format; we should consider to offer these in the future in a more accessible format. When searching for a motion on creating the committee note (we plan to) On my system I have to download the file and open it in Microsoft Word as if I would like to edit the document. In other TCs we produce markdown minutes on GitHub for ease of collaborative creation and browsing/searching. In addition we could simply copy "the" resulting markdown text into an email to this list to fulfill the archiving requirements of OASIS I hereby kindly offer any support for Rhonda in case we consider this transition. 4. I did not find the motion where we task me to request and create a committee note say "What's new in CSAF Version 2.0" and to suggest who the editors of that document should be. I was quite sure, we did that (but cannot find or gave up too early going back in time. So, I plan to move accordingly during todays meeting. I hope this mail will remain readable when submitted due to me using a webform and the OASIS mail server garbling the encodings (usually). Thanks and all the best, Stefan

For one thing, you can then search the email archive for text from previous minutes - or even just look for 'minutes' in the subject line. For another, I have to have minutes in an email message anyhow when you request ballots, publications, etc. I hereby kindly offer any support for Rhonda in case we consider this transition. 4.

I definitely agree with this. Searchability is very important. Also, I actually don't have Office installed on my commonly used machines.
