Follow-up to C&D SC Meeting Notes of Aug 09, 2011 [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

["Trott, Gregory" <Gregory.Trott@ag.gov.au>]

UNCLASSIFIED

C&D SC members,

 

I saw the Draft Meeting Notes from the C&D Telecon held on Aug 9^th, and noted the issue about proposed material from myself that has not yet been received by Werner or Rex.  Now that my membership status has been upgraded I can post information onto Kavi, so please find the missing material listed below.

 

I also noted the intention to hold the next C&D SC meeting on Aug 23^rd from 4-5pm ET, to allow me to participate.  Thank you for that consideration.  I will plan to participate and will look out for the dial in numbers (the time will be 6-7am in my location)

 

 

 

The following contributions are offered from Australian CAP users to the discussions about development of a CAP icon symbol for future use on websites.   The comments are provided from two Australian CAP User organisations (Bureau of Meteorology and a State-based Emergency Service Agency) and relate to each of the 4 icon solutions that were being discussed back in the July timeframe.  Please refer to the attached image file regarding the four CAP icon symbols that have been discussed by the Australian CAP Users to date. 

 

Icon 1 represents nothing more than a printout of the CAP acronym – we feel it is meaningless in an iconic sense.

 

Icon 4 is possibly a bit too busy.  Best to keep it reasonably simple.

 

Icons 2 & 3 - the inclusion of the standard RSS icon as a key component, conveys an implied message that CAP is limited to, or is a subset of, the RSS protocols - and is limited to RSS type applications. This may not be the preferred message that OASIS wishes to convey, so an alternative approach is probably required to avoid any unintended associations with the RSS symbol.

 

An alternate but less formal symbol that could be considered might be the baseball cap symbol as currently used on the CAP Cookbook website, with the CAP abbreviation located beside it or on it. The analogy is similar to the way a padlock symbol is often associated with a secure/non-secure website and an envelope symbol is used for email.
