Members of the OASIS Open Command and Control (OpenC2) TC create and manage technical content in this TC GitHub repository ( https://github.com/oasis-tcs/openc2-cap ) as part of the TC's chartered work (i.e., the program of work and deliverables described in its charter).

OASIS TC GitHub repositories, as described in GitHub Repositories for OASIS TC Members' Chartered Work, are governed by the OASIS TC Process, IPR Policy, and other policies, similar to TC Wikis, TC JIRA issues tracking instances, TC SVN/Subversion repositories, etc. While they make use of public GitHub repositories, these TC GitHub repositories are distinct from OASIS TC Open Repositories, which are used for development of open source licensed content.

The purpose of this repository is to support collaborative development of OpenC2 custom actuator profiles by TC members, as per the TC's request.

The current (2018-06) draft language specification for OpenC2 allows for actuator profiles other than those that are OASIS specifications. It allows for "extensions" by vendors or users. This openc2-cap GitHub repository is intended for use by those TC members who want to work collaboratively on their "custom" profiles. 'Cap' — is for 'custom actuator profile'.

The qualifier "custom" is used to distinguish between actuator profiles being drafted as OASIS Specifications and those "custom" profiles being developed as extensions to a specification (e.g., providing vendor-specific or user-specific options) or to support a particular technology that does not yet have a specification.

The work on OpenC2 actuator profile specifications by TC members would not be a goal for this openc2-cap repository, but the custom profiles in the repository may serve to inform the actuator profile specifications.

As stated in this repository's CONTRIBUTING file, contributors to this repository are expected to be Members of the OASIS OpenC2 TC, for any substantive change requests. Anyone wishing to contribute to this GitHub project and participate in the TC's technical activity is invited to join as an OASIS TC Member. Public feedback is also accepted, subject to the terms of the OASIS Feedback License.

This repository was created by the OpenC2 Technical Committee for open sourcing Custom Actuator Profiles (CAP's). More on CAP's may be found at https://github.com/oasis-tcs/openc2-cap and the list of available caps is at (list)[./what.md]
