Hackfest Planning

  • Piñeiro started to talk with WebkitGtk organizers.

  • The main concern is how much the attendance will grow. Right now it is estimated about 16-17 people for WebkitGTK alone.
  • A hackfest with more people is more than a hackfest; it's a summit.
  • ACTION: Piñeiro will keep talking with them, and reach a conclusion.

Marketing and Fundraising

  • Juanjo was not present, we will ask him for an update at the next meeting.
  • Javi was included on p.g.o, he plans to blog.

GNOME 3.4 Planning

  • Feature proposal is opened.
  • It would be good to propose some kind of a11y-related feature.
  • ACTION: a11y team should start to think about what we should propose for new accessibility-related features.
  • Regarding the magnifier:
    • It is desirable to push for (1) brightness and contrast effects, (2) focus tracking, and (3) zoom options preferences dialog.
    • wrt (1), Joseph is investigating various brightness and contrast calculations to justify the use of the algorithms in the code he wrote.
    • wrt (2), Joseph needs to start on that (and needs to find the time).
    • wrt (3), the zoom options code is committed, but the triggering button is disabled and invisible. The ui people want refinements to the zoom options UI.

Quarterly Reports

  • Piñeiro stated that a mail asking for Q2 reports was sent.
  • He is still not sure about the specific deadline.
  • The Accessibility Team members still needs to write their reports.
  • ACTION: Piñeiro will send a reminder to a11y list about submitting information for the next quarterly report.

GNOME 3.2 Post Mortem

  • There is a ISO to test GNOME 3.2.
  • It would be good if some people test integration, interaction, tools and performance.
  • http://www.gnome.org/getting-gnome/

  • Firefox a11y is not working on the GNOME 3.2 ISO
  • Javi will make some investigations about this issue, but more people should do that as well.
