16 Jun 10 08:03:49 <joanie> API btw, my connection has been uber flakey. So if I come and go.... Well, my apologies in advance.
17 Jun 10 08:04:07 * TheMuso waves
18 Jun 10 08:04:08 <fer> you come and go...
19 Jun 10 08:04:18 <fer> wasn't it the karma chamaleon lyrics?
20 Jun 10 08:04:36 <joanie> fer: yes, I believe it was. ;-)
21 Jun 10 08:04:45 <fer> lovely!
22 Jun 10 08:05:08 <API> easy come, easy go
23 Jun 10 08:05:16 <fer> queen!
24 Jun 10 08:05:16 <API> also Bohemian Rhapsody lyrics
25 Jun 10 08:05:18 <API> anyway
26 Jun 10 08:05:23 * li_afk is now known as li
27 Jun 10 08:05:29 <joanie> love Bohemian Rhapsody!
28 Jun 10 08:05:39 <API> we have used already 5 minutes of the meeting
29 Jun 10 08:05:46 <API> I think that we can start
30 Jun 10 08:06:09 <API> yesterday I sent the rough agenda in a rush
31 Jun 10 08:06:44 <API> peter korn sent a mail saying that he is not coming
32 Jun 10 08:06:56 <API> but we can talk about AEGIS anyway
33 Jun 10 08:07:10 <API> fer, anything new about CENATIC funding?
34 Jun 10 08:07:27 <fer> today they publish the official tender
35 Jun 10 08:07:28 * joanie has quit (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
36 Jun 10 08:07:30 <fer> let me check
37 Jun 10 08:07:42 <API> I was talking with chema, and they pretend to ask this help also for GUADEC-ES
38 Jun 10 08:07:48 <fer> not online yet
39 Jun 10 08:07:50 <API> as he said in the mail list
40 Jun 10 08:08:09 <fer> yeah, we need to clarify if the same organization can ask for 2 separate sponsorships
41 Jun 10 08:08:28 <fer> if not, we should try to get it through another organization
42 Jun 10 08:08:34 <fer> any ideas for this?
43 Jun 10 08:08:42 <fer> (Spanish organization)
44 Jun 10 08:08:49 * joanie (~jd@c-98-217-239-60.hsd1.nh.comcast.net) has joined #a11y
45 Jun 10 08:08:50 * morbo gives channel operator status to joanie
46 Jun 10 08:09:18 <API> the issue is that a organization like GNOME hispano is the ideal
47 Jun 10 08:09:20 <API> imho
48 Jun 10 08:09:27 <API> to ask for this funding
49 Jun 10 08:09:44 <fer> let me check previous organizations granted with funds
50 Jun 10 08:09:53 <API> anyway, chema told me that shouldn't be a problem to ask for 2 separate sponsorships
51 Jun 10 08:10:35 <fer> a company can ask for it also
52 Jun 10 08:10:39 <fer> so ir could be a backup
53 Jun 10 08:11:12 <API> fer, is juanje here? I dont know his nick
54 Jun 10 08:11:15 <fer> anyway I think we should prepare the paperwork regardless who is going to finally ask for it
55 Jun 10 08:11:26 <fer> nop, he had to take a train at 7am
56 Jun 10 08:12:42 <API> a paperwork with "insert organization here" holes
57 Jun 10 08:12:57 <API> ok, you are volunteering ?
58 Jun 10 08:13:05 <fer> ok, I can do it
59 Jun 10 08:13:24 * rmunoz_ (~rmunoz@83.51.225.7) has joined #a11y
60 Jun 10 08:13:57 <API> ok awesome
61 Jun 10 08:14:03 <API> hmm Bryen is not here
62 Jun 10 08:14:19 * slee (~chatzilla@84.12.245.245) has joined #a11y
63 Jun 10 08:14:20 <API> joanie, you know if he couldn't assist?
64 Jun 10 08:14:38 <joanie> assist whom with what?
65 Jun 10 08:14:44 <API> ups
66 Jun 10 08:14:46 <API> I mean
67 Jun 10 08:14:48 <fer> attend
68 Jun 10 08:14:49 <fer> :)
69 Jun 10 08:14:54 <API> yeah :P
70 Jun 10 08:15:08 <joanie> I had forgotten about that until now but I think he said he wouldn't be here
71 Jun 10 08:15:15 <API> ok
72 Jun 10 08:15:15 * slee sorry late - connectivity
73 Jun 10 08:15:31 <API> Bryen wanted to talk about funding
74 Jun 10 08:15:49 <API> trying to get funds elsewhere, although I don't remember
75 Jun 10 08:15:54 <API> exactly his idea
76 Jun 10 08:16:54 <fer> yeah, he also wanted some local people from Seville to try to help with the location
77 Jun 10 08:17:25 <API> fer, afaik right now you are living in Madrid
78 Jun 10 08:17:41 <API> have you talked with juanje?
79 Jun 10 08:17:51 <aleiva> Hi
80 Jun 10 08:17:52 <fer> yeah, Bryen sent an email to Peter K. saying danigm and me were in Seville
81 Jun 10 08:17:54 <aleiva> sorry I'm late
82 Jun 10 08:18:03 <fer> in my case that is not correct :)
83 Jun 10 08:19:03 <API> yes, this is the reason I wanted to confirm that
84 Jun 10 08:19:27 <API> so who people in this meeting is living in Seville?
85 Jun 10 08:19:31 <API> aleiva, danigm ?
86 Jun 10 08:19:43 <aleiva> o/
87 Jun 10 08:20:01 <aleiva> AFAIK danigm, Juanje and me
88 Jun 10 08:21:16 <API> ok, so paraphrasing fer words:
89 Jun 10 08:21:39 <API> <fer> yeah, he also wanted some local people from Seville to try to help with the location
90 Jun 10 08:22:04 <aleiva> no problem with that
91 Jun 10 08:23:11 <API> ok, so you are volunteering I guess
92 Jun 10 08:23:19 <aleiva> yes
93 Jun 10 08:23:23 <API> try to get in contact with peter korn as he already
94 Jun 10 08:23:25 <aleiva> I think that Juanje too
95 Jun 10 08:23:36 <API> has coordinating a lot of stuff
96 Jun 10 08:23:49 <API> like the place to run the hackfest and so on
97 Jun 10 08:24:02 <API> the first thing could be confirm the place ;)
98 Jun 10 08:24:15 <API> here http://www.aegis-project.eu/
99 Jun 10 08:24:17 <API> just says
100 Jun 10 08:24:20 <API> "Seville"
101 Jun 10 08:24:55 <aleiva> ok, we'll get in touch with Peter Korn
102 Jun 10 08:25:45 <API> ok, we have talked about funding and about local involvement
103 Jun 10 08:25:45 * joanie thanks aleiva and juanje for being willing to help with this
104 Jun 10 08:25:55 <API> anything else about AEGIS hackfest?
105 Jun 10 08:26:21 <joanie> API: we need to figure out a schedule, but we can do that when you and I have some time
106 Jun 10 08:27:05 <API> yeah its true, the agenda
107 Jun 10 08:27:06 * joanie has quit (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
108 Jun 10 08:27:10 <API> we could try to
109 Jun 10 08:27:11 <API> ups
110 Jun 10 08:27:22 <API> easy go
111 Jun 10 08:27:46 <API> well, my idea, for the ones listening could try to create an agenda
112 Jun 10 08:27:54 <API> fill live.gnome.org
113 Jun 10 08:28:02 <API> and ask people about it
114 Jun 10 08:28:17 * joanie (~jd@c-98-217-239-60.hsd1.nh.comcast.net) has joined #a11y
115 Jun 10 08:28:17 * morbo gives channel operator status to joanie
116 Jun 10 08:28:23 <API> an easy come
117 Jun 10 08:28:24 * joanie sighs
118 Jun 10 08:28:29 <joanie> sorry
119 Jun 10 08:29:08 <aleiva> API: umh, we know how many people will assist to hackfest?
120 Jun 10 08:29:08 <API> np, we haven't advance too much
121 Jun 10 08:29:22 <API> aleiva, there are a
122 Jun 10 08:29:29 <API> "hope to attend" section on
123 Jun 10 08:29:32 <API> http://live.gnome.org/Accessibility/HackfestAEGIS2010
124 Jun 10 08:29:48 <API> BTW: all people, if you hope to attend, please write down your name here
125 Jun 10 08:30:00 <aleiva> API: yeah, I know, but if we published this thing maybe some people assit without sign at l.g.o
126 Jun 10 08:30:04 <API> ups, you already know ;)
127 Jun 10 08:30:23 <fer> has anyone blogged on p.g.o about it?
128 Jun 10 08:30:33 <API> fer,
129 Jun 10 08:30:34 <API> http://blogs.igalia.com/apinheiro/2010/06/04/would-you-like-to-go-a-gnome-accessibility-hackfest-in-seville/
130 Jun 10 08:31:17 * fer goes for pizza
131 Jun 10 08:31:31 <joanie> fer API tends to be very on top of things :-)
132 Jun 10 08:32:31 * API hmm, pizza for breakfast
133 Jun 10 08:32:45 <TheMuso> If cold, its excellent for breakfast.
134 Jun 10 08:32:48 <TheMuso> Also depends on the topping.
135 Jun 10 08:32:57 <API> well, anything else about AEGIS/GNOME hackfest?
136 Jun 10 08:35:55 <API> three minutes, no answer
137 Jun 10 08:35:57 <API> lets move
138 Jun 10 08:36:26 <API> slee, anything new about OUTREACH or HFOSS?
139 Jun 10 08:36:54 <slee> nothing to report this week
140 Jun 10 08:37:55 * slee just spotter hackfest clashes with AAATE workshop - rats
141 Jun 10 08:39:23 <joanie> w.r.t. HFOSS....
142 Jun 10 08:39:27 * juanje (~juanje@77.229.151.68) has joined #a11y
143 Jun 10 08:39:30 <joanie> are we doing it for sure?
144 Jun 10 08:39:53 <joanie> the one thing I'm concerned about is that if we seem flakey and disorganized, we might lose this connection
145 Jun 10 08:41:20 <slee> That's a valid concern - I don't know. When is Bryen back in contact?
146 Jun 10 08:41:55 <API> probably you should ask Bryen about it
147 Jun 10 08:42:13 <joanie> "you" == me?
148 Jun 10 08:42:24 <joanie> if so, yeah. Probably so...
149 Jun 10 08:44:17 * joanie is done asking questions (sorry)
150 Jun 10 08:45:56 <API> slee, you have already tried the second Outreach meeting?
151 Jun 10 08:46:09 <API> afaik, you just made one, and trying to organize a second one
152 Jun 10 08:48:48 <API> well, no answer ;) just 10 minutes left
153 Jun 10 08:48:59 <slee> API yes - we need to arrange a date - I'm swamped with a conference at the mo but will ping
154 Jun 10 08:48:59 <API> lets try to move
155 Jun 10 08:49:01 <API> ups
156 Jun 10 08:49:13 <API> ok
157 Jun 10 08:49:20 <API> so lets move
158 Jun 10 08:49:35 <API> we can try a quick review for any topics of "the list"
159 Jun 10 08:49:47 <API> but if anyone has a better idea
160 Jun 10 08:50:22 <API> mgorse, are you here
161 Jun 10 08:50:29 <API> did you read last comment in this bug?
162 Jun 10 08:50:32 <mgorse> I'm here
163 Jun 10 08:50:37 <API> https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=619946#c8
164 Jun 10 08:53:41 <API> mgorse, ?
165 Jun 10 08:55:10 <API> li, you also answered my original mail about this issue
166 Jun 10 08:55:17 <API> do you have any opinion?
167 Jun 10 08:55:39 <API> when I said my original mail, I mean this old mail
168 Jun 10 08:55:40 * joanie has quit (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
169 Jun 10 08:55:51 <API> http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-accessibility-list/2009-August/msg00019.html
170 Jun 10 08:56:45 * joanie (~jd@c-98-217-239-60.hsd1.nh.comcast.net) has joined #a11y
171 Jun 10 08:56:45 * morbo gives channel operator status to joanie
172 Jun 10 08:56:51 <mgorse> Seems we have two separate problems: the location of the module, and that the way the AtkUtil class is implemented/used can cause problems
173 Jun 10 08:57:00 <li> API, I am not in the cc list of this bug
174 Jun 10 08:57:18 <API> mgorse, yeah, this is what doffm sumarizes in his answer
175 Jun 10 08:57:26 <li> API, let me see the bug first
176 Jun 10 08:57:34 <API> li, yeah, just gently asking to read the comment and give any opinion ;)
177 Jun 10 08:57:35 <API> thanks
178 Jun 10 08:57:55 <API> mgorse, anyway, apart from AtkUtil issues
179 Jun 10 08:58:08 <API> being able to find the bridge
180 Jun 10 08:58:14 <API> easily could help things
181 Jun 10 08:58:38 <API> as I said in the bug, I really doubt that we could manage
182 Jun 10 08:58:45 <API> due manpower, and time constraints
183 Jun 10 08:58:51 <API> a revision of the current ATK
184 Jun 10 08:58:52 * joanie has quit (Read error: 131 (Connection reset by peer))
185 Jun 10 08:59:19 <TheMuso> But surely for example, when QT comes along, they will have their own module/hook that will talk to at-spi over dbus, so why is this even an issue?
186 Jun 10 08:59:29 * TheMuso hasn't read the full bug yet.
187 Jun 10 08:59:40 <mgorse> Would having it in, say, $libdir/atspi make things easier than having it i the gtk directory?
188 Jun 10 09:00:01 * joanie (~jd@c-98-217-239-60.hsd1.nh.comcast.net) has joined #a11y
189 Jun 10 09:00:01 * morbo gives channel operator status to joanie
190 Jun 10 09:00:42 <API> mgorse, not sure, this is one of the reasons I'm asking for opinions ;)
191 Jun 10 09:00:43 * joanie has quit (Read error: 131 (Connection reset by peer))
192 Jun 10 09:01:12 <API> the issue is that we need a proper and easy to find place to find the module
193 Jun 10 09:01:23 <mgorse> Seems like we're depending either way on the prefix at build time
194 Jun 10 09:01:43 <API> TheMuso, I don't understand your reasoning
195 Jun 10 09:02:20 <TheMuso> API: As I said, I haven't read the full bug. I am just wondering why we are considering moving the at kinterface from the GTK modules directory, especially since QT will likely have their own hook
196 Jun 10 09:02:26 * joanie (~jd@c-98-217-239-60.hsd1.nh.comcast.net) has joined #a11y
197 Jun 10 09:02:26 * morbo gives channel operator status to joanie
198 Jun 10 09:02:53 <API> hmm, sorry I'm somewhat disconnected from how Qt is implementing a11y support
199 Jun 10 09:02:54 * joanie has quit (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
200 Jun 10 09:03:06 <API> I suppose that this means that they will not implement ATK
201 Jun 10 09:03:19 <API> and one of the reasons of at-spi split into core and atk, right?
202 Jun 10 09:03:33 <mgorse> TheMuso: atk toolkits other than GAIL (cally, UiaAtkBridge, FF, need to load the module manually and need to be able to find it
203 Jun 10 09:03:57 <TheMuso> mgorse: ah ok that makes sense
204 Jun 10 09:03:58 <mgorse> API: yeah, QT has its own bridge, that doffm has worked on
205 Jun 10 09:04:52 <mgorse> or, I should say, it is bridging directly to at-spi
206 Jun 10 09:06:17 <API> well, mgorse, li if you conclude something, or want to add extra information,
207 Jun 10 09:06:29 <API> I would be very grateful if you add something in the bug
208 Jun 10 09:06:39 <API> any idea is welcome
209 Jun 10 09:06:40 <li> API, have you tried the GTK_PATH?
210 Jun 10 09:06:41 <TheMuso> Anyway, we are out of time.
211 Jun 10 09:06:51 <API> li, this is other option
212 Jun 10 09:07:02 <API> but you don't have always GTK_PATH set
213 Jun 10 09:07:44 <API> in fact
214 Jun 10 09:07:51 <API> one of the advantages of use gtk_find_modules
215 Jun 10 09:08:03 <API> is that this method already tries GTK_PATH
216 Jun 10 09:08:17 <API> I mean that if you want to search for a gtk module
217 Jun 10 09:08:21 <API> this method is the ideal one
218 Jun 10 09:08:37 * slee has quit (ChatZilla 0.9.86 [Firefox 3.5.9/20100315083431])
219 Jun 10 09:08:45 <li> java-atk-wrapper has the similar problem
220 Jun 10 09:09:01 <li> the same problem
221 Jun 10 09:09:28 * jrocha (~JRocha@155.99.117.91.static.mundo-r.com) has joined #a11y
222 Jun 10 09:09:35 * jrocha has quit (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
223 Jun 10 09:09:37 * j-rocha (~JRocha@155.99.117.91.static.mundo-r.com) has joined #a11y
224 Jun 10 09:09:49 * j-rocha is now known as jrocha
225 Jun 10 09:10:09 <API> li, it also need to load by hand atk-bridge, guessing where it is?
226 Jun 10 09:10:35 <li> yes, currently it gets the location from GTK_PATH
227 Jun 10 09:10:38 <API> BTW: people, I can conclude that the meeting is over (10 minutes over time)
228 Jun 10 09:10:59 <API> li, so you need to be sure that the environment has set the proper GTK_PATH?
229 Jun 10 09:11:34 <li> for now it works for us
230 Jun 10 09:12:09 <mgorse> We could set a g_settings key for the location of atk-bridge perhaps
231 Jun 10 09:12:11 <li> have you found and exception?
232 Jun 10 09:12:33 <API> exception? what do you mean?
233 Jun 10 09:12:44 <li> I mean GTK_PATH is not working
234 Jun 10 09:12:51 <mgorse> GTK_PATH is unset by default, for me at least, so gtk reverts to using some kind of predefined logic to look for modules
235 Jun 10 09:13:32 <API> yeah, this is what I mean
236 Jun 10 09:13:40 <API> by default I don't have a GTK_PATH
237 Jun 10 09:13:56 <API> we should ensure to set that

240 Jun 10 09:15:29 <API> here http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/stable/gtk-running.html
241 Jun 10 09:15:31 <API> the policy
242 Jun 10 09:15:37 <API> (on GTK_PATH description)
243 Jun 10 09:16:52 <API> li, you manually set GTK_PATH in your environment?
244 Jun 10 09:17:16 <li> no, seems it works on OpenSolaris
245 Jun 10 09:18:39 <API> hmm, odd
