Group SBOM Specification
[Draft v 1.0]

30. Our Telco Work Group Is Drafting Stuff
● Jimmy wrote a sentence that manages to say “SBOM” three times:
○ This document aims to outline certain requirements related to how an entity creates,
delivers, and consumes Software Bill of Materials (SBOM), so that entities that produces
and/or consumes SBOMs that conform to this specification can ensure repeatability and
streamlining of tools and processes for generating and consuming SBOMs.
tl;dr:
The Telco people are creating a specification for how
Telco companies can adopt Software Bill of Materials
This is useful for guiding people to specific choices
