Minutes for Accessibility IRC Meeting of May 20th, 2010
- When: Thursday, May 20th, 15:00 UTC
- Where: irc.gnome.org, #a11y
Meeting Log
Topics Discussed
C&P from the summary sent to the mailing list
XFCE
- ryan22 suggested that the accessibility frameworks should be less DE independent.
- He pointed that there are some issues of orca with xfce
- As this seemed too big for the #a11y meeting the conclusion was that this would be managed first in the orca mailing list.
OUTREACH MEETING
- Attended by SJ, slee, stormy, and Bryen
- Identified a number of areas we need to grow in. Evangelism, formalizing the structure for student internship programs, and funding to pay for the above.
AEGIS Conference:
- Bryen pointed out Peter Korn idea about a GNOME Hackfest on the AEGIS Conference, similar to the CSUN one.
- Some people started to point out interesting points to talk there:
- prlw1: non-python dbus related things, XINPUT2
- Steve Lee: Caribou
- etc
- In the end Joan Marie Diggs pointed GNOME 3.0, so in summary:
"Not saying what we did in the past wasn't important; merely that AEGIS is happening 2 weeks after the 3.0 release, which seems like a good time to sit down and solve actual, concrete problems while we're all in the same room"
- And the conclusion was given by Bryen:
"let's start planning on discussing the hackfest over the next month (June) so we can identify what our needs are and what resources we have available to make it happen"
HFOSS
- The primary mentor for HFOSS is out due personal reasons.
- There isn't too much time to coordinate it.
- This means that we now have neither a mentor, nor a proposal that
- will work well. Proposals are required.
- During a brief brainstorming:
- Bryen said that final proposal was Mousetrap.
- Steve Lee asked about Caribou. dpellicer said
- prlw1 suggested a game mode for dasher
- ryan22 suggested: enchant or aspell could be to support the "dyslexic spell checker"
- Steve Lee pointed main links:
