Lionel_Wolberger: Jutta needed to reschedule due to illness
Lionel_Wolberger: David made the time and is very excited by what we're doing
Lionel_Wolberger: Had similar experience in Arasac -- Arab community wanted to clone symbols
Lionel_Wolberger: Some cultural inappropriate symbols, i.e. boy+girl holding hands to mean friend, not appropriate in Arab culture
Lionel_Wolberger: Explained need to do font ...
Lionel_Wolberger: David offered a page on globalsymbols.com
Russell: Don't know another of a single location that touches on so many different AAC symbol sets
Lionel_Wolberger: David mentioned 'hive mind' approach at GS
Lionel_Wolberger: So, re funding the missing SVG piece for arasac, we'll request from GS hive mind
Lionel_Wolberger: requests need to be sent to arasaac@aragon.es
Lionel_Wolberger: Suggested we talk with 'coughdrop'
Lionel_Wolberger: mycoughdrop.com
Russell: Can provide many vendors like this as well

Next steps
janina: We need to know, what will the browsers do?
Lionel_Wolberger: Do we need browser involvement?
Russell: If we use Ruby, we do not need browser involvement
janina: Richard A in i18n has a concern about Ruby
Russell: Did he have any specific core vocab suggestions?
Lionel_Wolberger: That triggered his Arabic adaptation (See above)
Lionel_Wolberger: Did not have opinion on which to adapt
Russell: To implement a font, we likely need a core vocabulary
Lionel_Wolberger: Basic English?
Russell: Ogden's
Russell: Not a bad place to start; they are others
… https://
janina: EA may be able to point us to a basic vobaulary
Lionel_Wolberger: If we define a project plan (a) adopt the core vocabulary (b) create the font, perhaps with ARASAAC SVG symbols
