• Log

GNOME 3.6

• 3.5.3 will be the first release with the bridge as a library.
• Piñeiro sent a mail to different lists and persons warning about it.
• ACTION: Piñeiro will mention that warning to Bastien, Matthias and others, as he thinks that it will be there for any gtk3 app, no matter if we remove the atk-brige gtk3 module or not.

• Joanie has fewer concerns about her patch for 678315 now that there is a gnome-3-4 branch for at-spi2-atk.

• ACTION: Joanie will announce the existence of the gnome-3-4 at-spi2-atk branch to the Orca users on the Orca list.
• Joanie still doesn't know if the patch is fully safe.
• Joanie will not commit that patch until others of commented and answered her questions.
• As gnome_accessibility_module_init was removed, any apps that were using at-spi2-atk gtk 3 (like unity) will need to modify its initialization code, with or without gtk3 module.
• Regardless, as all modules are porting to that, the recommended course of action is to use the library.
• Joseph has some preliminary code for the focus/caret tracker in gnome-shell. He says it is "very flakey" at the moment, and needs lots of debugging.

GUADEC BoF Planning

• Joanie, Piñeiro, and Juanjo need to plan and publicize the BoF.

Marketing and Fundraising

• The FoG a11y counter hasn't been updated by now, but it is supposed to be updated soon.
• No info yet about the OFL common FLOSS organization a11y booth/activities. Karen keeps working to get an answer
• ACTION: Juanjo will talk with Karen about companies donating to the FoG a11y campaign.
