2015-10-09 Meeting notes

[Adam Eijdenberg]

Hi all,

Thanks for taking the time to chat today.

I took the following high-level notes:

• Open-source CT code should now build better on non-Linux platforms (such as FreeBSD, Mac OS X) now.  See "Building with gclient" section of Readme.md.
  
• Leaning towards storing digests rather than binaries in logs for at least 3 reasons: size, proprietary, consequences of take-downs.
• Link to previous doc by Ed on Binary Transparency in FreeBSD.
• We expect a single log to be able to handle submissions for different packaging systems so we should design a common metadata format.
• As a strawman we can use a different key-pair for log submission than release keys.

Action items:

• Al and Adam to think about how to modify the CT codebase to accept arbitrary data authenticated with a public/private key-pair that we can use to experiment with.
  
• Ed and dkg to start a proposal for a common metadata format.

Look forward to chatting in 2 weeks.

Cheers, Adam
