GNOME 3.8 Updates

• As Piñeiro mentioned last week, Matthias sent a email about the fact that we have not-too-many weeks before API freeze.
• So, please if you have any accessibility change requiring API change, take that into account.
• Piñeiro is still looking to that gnome-shell crash related with focus changes.
• Joanie was not able to reproduce it, Piñeiro has some problems compiling the stack.
• Piñeiro will take a look to the clutter-gtk issue, and see if that would require any API change.
• Joanie added the much-requested list-of dialog feature to Orca. She is still finishing it, but it's committed to master for users to try.
• Joanie and Matthias got the egg-list-box accessibility issues sorted out and fixed. This is important because four new panels in gnome-control-center use this widget.

• Joanie is currently looking into (and will finish) implementing support in Orca for the GtkLevelBar. She found one in the wild in gnome-disk-utility.

• Mike has been trying to track down memory/ref count leaks. Several are fixed with pygobject 3.7.5 and a recent at-spi2-core. There is still at least one ref count leak left (either in pygobject, at-spi2-core, or orca), so still need to track that down.
• These last weeks there were several news and updates related to the new GNOME classic mode. Juanjo is worried about the migration path for the current fallback mode users.
• Piñeiro thinks that the main focus is on the main "GNOME experience" and that we would need to wait until the situation became more stable, but agreed that is a good idea to not forget about this.

Marketing

• The start of the time for bids was announced by the GNOME foundation

• http://www.gnome.org/news/2013/02/call-for-bids-for-gnome-accessibility-work/

• Piñeiro corrected Juanjo's Spanish article about gnome a11y.
• Juanjo is still working in a article for the annual report and updated entries for the wikipedia.

W3C Update

• The first public working draft of Indie UI Events was released in January.

• http://www.w3.org/TR/2013/WD-indie-ui-events-20130122/

• Another public working draft of the ARIA Authoring Practices Guide is about to be released sometime in Feburary.

• The current editors' draft is here (this will become the next PWD): http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/aria-practices/Overview.html.

• There is new discussion within Indie UI working group about user preferences or context being applied while browsing to adjust the content.

Miscellaneous Time

• FOSDEM was last weekend.
• Piñeiro gave a talk about accessibility, specifically about the "accessibility on/off setting is no more - a11y always on" thing.
• More or less at the same time, the a11y call for bids was announced.

Ongoing / Rolled-Over

• Joanie:
