A11y Breakage in Other Modules

  • Joanie has seen a few really, really old a11y bugs (e.g. impacting GOK). In addition, and more importantly, there are new bugs (like Evolution) we need to keep better track of.
  • Joanie is wondering two things: 1) What we think we should do about the uber-old bugs? 2) Do we know the status of the core gnome modules (nautilus, evolution)?
  • Joanie proposes that she search for all the GOK-related bugs open against some other module and suggest via comment that they be closed.
  • ACTION: Joanie will look for the old bugs as previous discussed and suggest via comment they be closed by the module maintainer
  • ACTION: Mike will add the keyword 'accessibility' to gnome core module bugs he's filed (e.g. evolution and nautilus) which are still open.
  • ACTION: Joanie will do a full evaluation of the accessibility breakage in Evolution 3.4 and file bugs accordingly.

UTC is Hard, let's go shopping!

  • UTC seems to be confusing to some users.
  • Benjamin also mentioned that with the last switch a11y meetings overlaps with RH meetings.
  • Joanie added the meeting time to the subscribable calendar (and will re-update if we change meeting times), so team members can use the calendar subscription as a possible solution. (?)

  • Conclusion:
    • The official time zone of the team is now CET. UTC is dead.
    • The official team meeting time will be moved to 16:00 CET.
    • ACTION: Joanie will update the calendar and wiki accordingly.

Outreach Program for Women

  • Joseph recieved two emails from student about GSoC, but not specifically about his project.
  • He informed Marina after she asked if there were any nibbles.
  • ACTION: Joseph will politely respond to students suggesting they look over the other GNOME GSoC projects.
