Meeting Summary

Q2 quarterly reports

Emily Chen sent a mail asking us to fill the q2 quarterly report.
We've started a skeleton page which team members should fill out.
Reports are due to the Board by 28 July.
Joanie would like to have them sooner as she will need to write the summary and Piñeiro will need to review that summary.
Joseph proposed a due date of 20 July. Joanie feels that would be ideal.

Joanie did some regression testing of the gail integation into gtk+.
Most things didn't break; some things which were broken have already been fixed; the reamining issues are on our "Gailectomy" page.
Team members other than Joanie should also be testing as the changes in question are pretty significant.
The Gailectomy page should include both those things which have broken in Gtk+ and also those things in other Gtk+ apps which broke as a side effect (e.g. custom implementations).

Piñeiro reviewed some of Mike's ATK patches. Some Some were accepted, but some are still pending.
Piñeiro also still needs to go back to those gnome-shell bugs (stbutton) and a small orca bug (toolkit name change).
Mike fixed a couple of AT-SPI bugs that Joanie found.
Bastien N. did a UI review of Joseph's proposed Zoom Options dialog -- gnome-control-center / Universal Access.
Joseph will work on a response in the coming week.
Ale will review and draft the implementation of the new Orca GUI before the next meeting.

In relation with the performance:
- Piñeiro asked Fer which tool he used to test performance with and without a11y some years ago.
- Fer said that he used sysprof.
- We can add that tool to the list of valgrind and the specific gnome-shell performance measurement framework
Desktop Summit:
- Ale ask if there will be a workshop or BoF at the desktop summit.
- Piñeiro was not sure about who would be attending. But given who is expected (Ale, Javi, Juanje, Frederik, Matthias, Benjamin, Fer, himself), Piñeiro concluded it would make sense to have a workshop or BoF.
- Ale observed that we are out of the official due date, but we can try it.
- Piñeiro will send a mail to people who might be interested in an a11y BoF at the Desktop Summit.
- Ale will try to talk with the desktop summit organizers.
- Ale created a wiki page for the a11y workshop/BoF. People planning on attending should add their name to that page.
Testing Distro:
- Joseph found a problem with python-gobject in the a11y-distro.
- Ale had the same problem with his installation.
- Ale is going to look for the bug and talk with jhernandez to try to fix it and create a new spin of the a11y-distro.
- Jospeh found no such problem in the previous (4.0.2) spin of the a11y-distro.

Ale:
- Talk with the Desktop Summit organizers regarding having an a11y BoF.
- Look for the python-gobject testing-distro bug and talk with jhernandez to try to fix it and create a new spin.
Joseph:
- Work on a response to Bastien's UI review.
Piñeiro:
- Send a mail to people who might be interested in an a11y BoF at the Desktop Summit.

Team:
- Check how Mike's change improves desktop performance (i.e. with a11y on and no AT listening).
Brian:
- Send a mail summarizing his proposal regarding a testing-centered design.
- Announce his Mago tests on the gnome-accessibility-devel list, and also create a README and INSTALL.
Javi:
- Spin a new (and possibly the last accessibility-specific) spin of the testing distro once he has the new tarball from Joanie and any other required changes requested by our team.
Joanie:
- Investigate what other resources we have/can draw upon to achieve the desktop performance testing work.
Joseph:
- Explore the JavaScript Atspi import further to see how much is available.
Mike:
- File a bug regarding GAIL treeview children / children-changed signals, attach a patch, and call for testers.
Piñeiro:
- Review the documentation page.
