Re: [dita] Fwd: New design for OASIS Committee Notes
Hi Kris,

    
Calibri remains as the body font for the new CN design. This is a
      Microsoft font, licensed for use with Windows but problematic for
      publishing on other operating systems. Is there an opportunity to
      push back here?

    
(BTW, I got a bounce-back message from the DITA TC list yesterday
      for this message. Apologies if you're receiving it twice).

FYI. Forwarding to the list so that I can reference this in a
        GitHub issue.

Hi folks,Â
          

          

          
After reviewing possible designs for a new Committee Note
            with the TAB and several interested members, we have settled
            on the attached. This eliminates the fat blue bar that took
            up the so much real estate on the first page and the header
            that reminded you, page after page, that THIS ISN'T
            STANDARDS TRACK! Oye vey.Â

          

          

          
Instead, it uses a label, just under the OASIS logo, to
            identify this as a Committee Note and it states in the
            Status section that the patent provisions of the OASIS
            process don't apply. It is cleaner, matches our new color
            scheme, and makes Committee Notes less like ugly step
            children.Â

          

          

          
Ken, Kris, Dave, let us know what information you want
            regarding colors, etc. Paul, let's go ahead and update the
            cover page template when you get a chance.Â
