Re: This Monday's 13:30UTC IRC meeting: special guests from RedHat :-)

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hey All:

I have a loud crying sick son on my hands and will be occupied with 
trying to get him to the doctor's office this morning.  As such, I will 
not be able to attend the IRC meeting today (it's hard for me even to 
be able to concentrate to type this message).  :-(

However, I'd still like everyone to meet today and move forward on 
http://live.gnome.org/GDM/EaseOfAccess.  Jon McCann and RedHat are 
being very proactive here, and I think we are coming close to reaching 
consensus for at least the login screen.  Please discuss the "Login 
Screen Interaction Model Specification" section of that page and work 
together to come together to create a concrete and tractable solution.  
The community is the expert here, and I have confidence that you can 
come to a really good conclusion.

Thanks!

Will
