4 16:06:55 <joanie> #topic GNOME 3.6.2 and/or 3.8 updates
5 16:07:02 <clown> https://live.gnome.org/Accessibility/Meetings
6 16:07:36 <joanie> #info Seems that we need to get accessibility support implemented in clutter-gtk
7 16:07:40 <joanie> what else?
8 16:08:01 <joanie> clown: multi-monitor support for mag?
9 16:08:17 <clown> I'm not volunteering for anything, but something should be done for mult-monitor support in gs-mag.
10 16:08:26 * clown like ships passing...
11 16:08:27 <joanie> info?
12 16:08:29 <joanie> heh
13 16:09:07 <clown> #info As GNOME Shell's support to multiple monitors has progressed, how the magnifier works in that scenario should be updated.
14 16:09:33 <clown> questions?
15 16:09:33 <joanie> And since you are not volunteering, what is the prognosis for 3.8?
16 16:09:52 <clown> 3.8 is in March?
17 16:09:57 <joanie> yeah
18 16:10:43 <clown> my gut says that unless priorities change (aka focus tracking), it's unlikely it will happen for 3.8.
19 16:11:00 <joanie> priorities meaning what?
20 16:11:07 <joanie> i.e. focus tracking getting skipped?
21 16:11:45 <clown> yeah — if multi-monitor is considered more important than focus tracking (and I'm the one doing the work), then...
22 16:11:50 <clown> well, actualy,
23 16:11:52 <joanie> aha
24 16:11:59 <joanie> no focus tracking is far more important
25 16:12:01 <clown> even under those circumstances, I think it unlikely.
26 16:12:36 <joanie> #info Multi-monitor support for mangification seems highly unlikely in time for 3.8.
27 16:14:30 <joanie> ok
28 16:14:39 <joanie> stuff to think about
29 16:14:45 <joanie> mgorse: any updates?
30 16:16:32 * joanie hums a happy tune
31 16:17:09 <joanie> in the meantime since danigm is here
32 16:17:26 <joanie> any updates on your plans to finish the Evince a11y work?
33 16:18:05 <mgorse> mclasen has done some work on gtk towards cleaning up the headers, which should help with the evince work for one thing, once they are made public
34 16:18:15 <joanie> mgorse: mind infoing?
35 16:18:42 <mgorse> #info mclasen has been working on cleaning up the gtk+ accessibility headers, in preparation or making them public
36 16:18:50 <joanie> (thanks!)
37 16:18:54 <mgorse> s/or/for/
38 16:20:10 <joanie> any other updates from mgorse? Is that weird message about dbus that ... whoever those devs in #a11y are ... mentioned gone?
39 16:20:32 <danigm> joanie: sorry, no updates yet
40 16:20:57 <joanie> #info Daniel has no updates with respect to Evince Accessibility
41 16:21:40 <mgorse> #info mgorse removed a warning that was being displayed any time an AT started and tried to inspect itself (ie, when direct D-Bus connections are not being used)
42 16:22:12 <joanie> aha. So Orca was seeing it if the braille monitor or prefs window were showing.
43 16:23:32 <joanie> anything else from anyone regarding 3.6.2 and/or 3.8?
44 16:23:35 <mgorse> though the warning was essentially harmless, other than cluttering up the log, since libatspi should fall back to using the a11y bus
45 16:24:12 <joanie> yeah, I didn't see any consequences after the warning
46 16:24:19 <joanie> but no one likes "scary" warnings :)
47 16:25:56 <joanie> ok, if there's nothing else
48 16:26:07 <joanie> #topic Marketing
49 16:26:19 <joanie> we're not really fundraising now that fog is over
50 16:26:27 <joanie> #info Q3's are due
51 16:26:37 <joanie> #info Joanie lapsed on Q2s due to being insanely busy
52 16:26:43 <joanie> #info Joanie will not lapse again :)
53 16:27:14 <joanie> (I took a few days off after Grace Hopper and Boston Summit and slept for like 16 hours a day)
54 16:27:24 <joanie> anyhoo, anything else on this front?
55 16:27:31 <clown> https://live.gnome.org/Accessibility/QuarterlyReports/2012/Q3
56 16:28:28 <clown> joanie, what is the deadline so that you and API can do your summary for the main Q3 report.?
57 16:28:43 <joanie> I would have to look
58 16:28:46 <joanie> I suppose I can :)
59 16:29:07 <joanie> says TBA
60 16:29:14 <joanie> https://live.gnome.org/GnomeMarketing/QuarterlyReports/2012/Q3
61 16:30:13 <joanie> #info There is currently no deadline for the Q3's
62 16:31:31 * joanie moves on
63 16:31:40 <joanie> #topic "Miscellaneous Time"
64 16:32:14 <joanie> We have no ops. /me goes to take care of that.
65 16:33:07 <clown> such power!
66 16:33:30 <clown> "Thanatos?"
67 16:33:37 <joanie> I love that nick
68 16:33:48 <joanie> one of the ops
69 16:34:29 <joanie> since we're being misc....
70 16:34:40 <joanie> there was some discussion on the foundation list about irc support
71 16:35:06 <joanie> the sysadmin team and/or Bastien (with his Board hat on) will be coordinating with the "owners" of gimpnet
72 16:35:18 <joanie> so we can have nickserv and chanserv and whateverserv
73 16:35:21 <joanie> like freenode
74 16:35:25 <clown> cool
75 16:35:26 <joanie> (and everyone else)
76 16:36:14 <clown> that measn we might have to register our nicks.
77 16:36:25 <joanie> oh noes!
78 16:36:26 <joanie> :)
79 16:38:15 <joanie> so... anything else?
80 16:38:29 <joanie> minion uprising plans given API is away
81 16:39:02 <clown> anyone know if 3.6.1 is "out" yet?
82 16:39:10 * joanie observes that API likely takes comfort in knowing we couldn't uprise effectively
83 16:39:20 <joanie> should be
84 16:39:29 <joanie> but dunno if the official release was done
85 16:39:31 * joanie looks
86 16:39:47 <joanie> not on gnome-announce
87 16:39:53 * joanie looks on release team list
88 16:40:13 <clown> I looked on gnome.org, and it's still offering a live CD of 3.6
89 16:40:23 <clown> http://www.gnome.org/getting-gnome/
90 16:40:46 <clown> but, maybe there is another place?
91 16:40:55 <joanie> or someone other than the RT does that work
92 16:41:15 <clown> I also have a machine with Fedora 18 alpha installed. I'll check to see what happens if I do an update.
93 16:41:25 <joanie> yay for f18
94 16:41:31 <joanie> I have two machines
95 16:41:33 <mgorse> The tarballs should have been posted, but I haven't seen a "GNOME 3.6.1 released"-type announcement
96 16:41:40 <joanie> didn't see if 3.6.1 was done
97 16:41:58 <joanie> yeah, tarballs are done. question is: did fredp get the release out the door yet
98 16:42:22 <joanie> often it doesn't happen when it is "due" (wed after the mon tarballs due date)
99 16:43:33 <joanie> seems like if we are going to stage a minion uprising, Sunday is the day. https://mail.gnome.org/archives/release-team/2012-October/msg00015.html :P
100 16:43:43 <joanie> anyhhhhoooooo.... anything else?
101 16:44:01 * clown reads
102 16:44:30 * clown impressed that people meet on sat.
103 16:44:44 <joanie> RT puts in extra hours. definitely.
104 16:45:33 * joanie raises gavel
105 16:46:18 * joanie looks for fingers
106 16:46:24 <joanie> #endmeeting
