Possible joint session/BoF/whatever with BugSquad at GUADEC?

• Joanie emailed the BugSquad list Tuesday.

• No response yet, but that was only two days ago and that list is extremely low traffic.

• But Joanie thinks this is a good idea and is wondering if others will be at GUADEC and interested in participating, should the BugSquad agree this is something worth doing.

• Juanjo is willing to help out if we have this BoF.

• LINK: http://www.guadec.org/lightning-bof-cfp

• Piñeiro also said he could participate in this.

• Conclusion: We just need to see if the BugSquad is interested and available.

• ACTION: Joanie will see about ways to make this BoF remotely-attendable (should the BoF occur).

Marketing and Fundraising

• It seems that the a11y FoG Campaign is stalled and we don't progress adequately.
• The FoG banner has been removed suddenly.
• ACTION: Juanjo will follow up regarding the problem with the banner.
• ACTION: Juanjo will provide info for the FoG campaign to Javi.
• ACTION: Juanjo will try to get an update from Bryen or Karen soon about the Ohio Linux Fest.

Reminders

• Input is still needed for Shaun's Open Help Conference.

• Team members can add thoughts on our wiki.

• Numbers are still needed (possibly) for William Jon McCann regarding prevalence of disability.

• Joseph emailed Jan (a manager in the IDRC) and Peter Korn regarding stats about a11y. Not much was relayed back. Peter did not respond.
• Joseph has recently asked the resident occupational therapist about the same issue. She is looking into it, and will respond by the end of week (hopefully).
• ACTION: Joseph will ping Peter again.

Accessibility for developers and designers

• Juanjo has written a draft about how to improve accessibility by promoting a11y to developers and designers.

• Regarding the UX Hackfest, seeing as how it is before GUADEC and at Igalia, we should see if Piñeiro can attend.
• Joanie might be able to attend the UX Hackfest but it depends on the outcome of the Board elections. (Meetings on the 24th if she is elected.)
• ACTION: Joanie will talk to Piñeiro to see if he can go to the UX Hackfest.
• ACTION: Team members should look over Juanjo's draft content.

Miscellaneous Time

• There is a new working group at the W3C — the Independent UI Events group.
• The group is looking into adding high level events for web apps that cross cut different platforms (e.g. touch screens).
• There is also a desire to add "a11y events" at the same time.
• Currently Joseph is in the group as well as IBM, and Apple.
• They want to recruit more people. Joseph is thinking another GNOME person or two would be good.

• http://www.w3.org/WAI/IndieUI/

• The plan is to have a 1 hour teleconference every other week.
• Plus wiki and email discussion list.
• Non-members have to apply as "invited experts".

• ACTION: Joanie will read over the http://www.w3.org/WAI/IndieUI/participation and talk to Piñeiro to see if this is something she can take on.
