Two sessions relating to canSAS activities were held during the
SAS-09 conference in Oxford, UK on 16 and 17 August 2009. These
were chaired by Andrew Jackson (NIST) and Adrian Rennie (Uppsala
University). The first session consisted of a brief introduction to
canSAS activities by Adrian Rennie with a description of the working
groups. There followed two talks by John Barker (NIST) on standards
used in small-angle scattering and by Pete Jemian (APS, Argonne
National Laboratory) on the canSAS 1-D XML data standard.

The second session provided for discussion of the current and future
activities for canSAS. This was largely based on the activities of
the working groups. A brief summary list follows:

==Facilities Representatives==

The first telephone discussion of this group had taken place in
August. It was agreed that the exchange of information was useful
and that regular telephone conferences should be held to exchange
information and review the activities of the other working
groups. Several items were referred to this group for further consideration:

(a) Future canSAS meeting. A working meeting in about 18 months
would be appropriate. The group should seek an appropriate
convenient location.

(b) The group should put forward ideas of content for the SAS portal.

(c) Discuss a repository of small-angle scattering data for windows
and sample environments.

==1-D data format==

Version 1.0 of this standard is published and several facilities and
data analysis packages support this format. A survey of
representatives present indicated the following status:

ISIS - the format is the default output from data reduction and can
be used by the Fish analysis package.
APS - supported as input and output from the IRENE package
NCNR - supported as input and will be supported as output from data
reduction from the next software release expected in November 2009.
ESRF - not yet supported
ILL - This format had been supported by previous software but current
status was not known. Adrian Rennie was requested to write to ILL to
enquire about this.
Bruker-AXS - Use an XML format and is interested in the application
of this standard.
JAERI - canSAS standard is not used.

==2-D data format==

The scope of this activity is really multi-dimensional data that
could include time sequences and other parametric collection of
multiple data. This working group would be merged with the 1-D
group. It was agreed that if Nexus will produce a standard in the
next 12 to 18 months there would be no need for canSAS to work on
this separately as the same people are involved with nexus and
canSAS. Pete Jemian will provide liaison.

==Standardisation==

The work from this group had fallen in two categories. General
discussion of standards on the mailing list and specific work in
circulating glassy carbon samples as a 'round-robin'. The
round-robin had involved an ad-hoc group of willing
participants. Results of some of this work were reported in a
separate presentation by Jan Ilavsky at SAS-09. Jan Ilavsky offered
to provide further glassy carbon samples calibrated with USAXS to
people wishing to retain them.

There was support for continuing this type of activity and it was
agreed that other materials could usefully be circulated. The group
will discuss this and, if necessary, use the format of sub-groups to
work on different materials. These can include wavelength standards
and materials to determine detector response/uniformity as well as
intensity standards. The mailing list archive needs to be extended
so that more record of the e-mail discussion is accessible.

==Igor-Pro Developers==

It was mentioned that some more work is needed to facilitate
interchange between different software packages. Some members of the
group were planning to discuss this immediately following the SAS-09 meeting.

==SAS Portal==

There had been problems of manpower and funding to support this
development but these were addressed in a discussion held in
Oxford. A site name smallangle.org is purchased and the group is now
developing preliminary content. Links to other relevant content will
be provided.
