Minutes

1. Discussed Agenda for Feb.

JM: Would like to get Brian Ingenito along to talk about his work on SBOMs. MF: Has invited him.

2. LLM Models - Intersection with Supply Chain

JM: Would like to find someone to speak about this subject. Increasing volume of email / queries about this. MF: Was in SPDX / CycloneDX / SBOM meetings, they're talking about this issue too. They had an SBOM implementer from Dell talking about the hurdles they're hitting.
RM: Discussed that this is being discussed at TOC, FINOS Board and https://github.com/finos/open-source-readiness/issues/226 RM: "Manchurian candidate" scenarios - AI trained with back-doors.

3. Deliverables for the Year

JM Would like to deliver:

1. Documentation specific to highly-regulated environments. somewhat like OSR/OSFF.
2. A repository of known good OSS components would be too much and not that useful, but instead, amalgamating meta-data from different sources to produce a scorecard for a piece of software. Might include things like:
   • Tidelift
   • End-of-Life data (see Nov meeting. This is being added to the SPDX spec). Using old code is a problem.
   • JFrog etc. has CVE reports.
   • Ideally, a single source that can be maintained, useful to everyone. "Making data actionable." A service with an API.
3. A "Getting Stated" reading list.

RM Mentioned: https://osr.finos.org/docs/bok/Activities/Level-2/Supply-Chain-Security which could do with a review.
