24 16:08:38 <clown> #topic GSoC updates
25 16:08:48 <clown> I'll go first, okay magpie?
26 16:08:51 <magpie> ok
27 16:09:25 <clown> #info Joseph had an action to post the five issues regarding the focus/caret tracker to the accessibility development list.
28 16:09:31 <clown> #info He did so, his post is here:
29 16:09:58 <clown> #info Actually, the discussion thread is here: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-accessibility-devel/2013-July/thread.html
30 16:10:23 <clown> #info Joseph is rapdily converging on these conclusions:
31 16:10:33 <magpie> #link https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-accessibility-devel/2013-July/thread.html
32 16:11:03 <clown> #info 1. the tracker should not be a singleton, unless it's too costly to have multiple D-Bus registrations.
33 16:11:23 <clown> #info 2. It's still a question of where Atspi.init() should be called.
34 16:11:53 <clown> #info 3. Atspi event registration should happen in the constructor in the non-singleton case (see 1).
35 16:12:11 <clown> #info 4. The try/catch statements can be safely removed.
36 16:12:56 <clown> #info 5. There is no use case for distinguishing between 'object:state-changed:focus' and 'object:state-changed:select'.
37 16:13:28 <clown> #info Joseph has tried to keep up with Magdalen's work, but has found little time to do it this week.
38 16:13:40 <clown> #info But, he has at least responded to her emails.
39 16:13:54 <clown> done, if you have anything to add, magpie, go ahead.
40 16:14:35 <magpie> #info Magdalen has updated the tracker
41 16:15:02 <magpie> #info Magdalen is working on the magnifier
42 16:15:46 <magpie> #info Magdalen has been updating Joseph via email about changes and asking questions about it that way too
43 16:16:40 <magpie> #info Magdalen missed an email about the meeting for OPW but should go to the next one (no date yet)
44 16:17:10 <magpie> #info Magdalen will be doing a lightening talk on the project for GUADEC
45 16:17:35 <magpie> #info Magdalen needs to hand in the slides by 29th July
46 16:18:09 * clown looks at calendar

80 16:24:44 <magpie> that would be awesome
81 16:24:54 <clown> that would truly be overkill.

98 16:29:05 <clown> #info Testing is somewhat of a hindrance, in that it feeds back into better woring of the Guide, and testing is not complete.
99 16:29:15 <clown> #info We'll see if the deadline can be met.
100 16:29:26 <clown> Done. Questions?
101 16:29:49 <clown> actually, that not right. Hang on,

111 16:35:05 <jjmarin> #info no news from this part. Just I've received a reply from Adam Williamson from Fedora about the a11y BoF in GUADEC. He likes the idea, but nothing concrete by now
112 16:35:13 <jjmarin> done !
113 16:35:54 <clown> jjmarin, my guess is that's info you should pass to joanie and API (if you haven't already).
114 16:36:07 * joanie reads
115 16:36:19 <joanie> btw, I'm on that mailing list
116 16:36:32 <joanie> thanks for making that connection jjmarin
117 16:36:42 <joanie> and, of course, the BoF schedule is STILL not done

119 16:36:49 <jjmarin> https://www.redhat.com/archives/anaconda-devel-list/2013-July/msg00013.html

121 16:37:16 * clown thanks magpie for alerting him to the 'link' command.
122 16:37:28 <joanie> btw, the meetbot includes links whether you use the command or not
123 16:37:37 <joanie> I then delete the duplicates
124 16:37:38 <clown> d'oh!
125 16:37:53 <magpie> no problem :-)
126 16:37:53 <clown> so, I just created more work for you?
127 16:37:58 * clown pats himself on the back.
128 16:38:06 <joanie> meetbot's fault. Either don't have the command or don't autoinclude them
129 16:38:16 <joanie> clown: it's a one-second change
130 16:38:17 <magpie> oh right
131 16:38:48 <clown> okay, anything else on Marketing?

143 16:40:49 <jjmarin> yes
144 16:41:13 <clown> so, anything miscellaneous, jhernandez?
145 16:42:38 * clown wonders if that question made jhernandez spiral into an infinite loop.
