Re: [orca-list] possibly OT: Oracle takeover



Dear List,
As I promised I am going to start my contribution in Orca development
and testing.
 to take it forward I started learning python also.
Now my question is:
Which distribution can I use?
Ubuntu is good or Fedora?
Thanking you in advance.
Satyam.

Hi All:

I'm terribly behind in my e-mail and I'm traveling this week.  I'll
try to catch up if I get spare moments.  Getting talented members of
the community to contribute to Orca would be great, and I'm excited at
the prospect of more people contributing to Orca.

Dear Will and Orca list,
I am very sorry to respond very late.
I was away for some reasons.
The new organisation also can continue to fund Orca and gnome
accessibility by using the expurtise of Willie Walker.

Which organisation?
I would also like to spare my time for this work, as I have been promoting
use of orca on a very large scale and now a days spending a few houres
reading the scripts.


I request not
to get angry with my remark. All large corporations are planning to
kill open source and its accessibility projects. this will result in
most of non technical visually impired community depending on closed
source accessibility technologies and assistive aids. I don't want to
see Orca also getting closed like LSR and Gnopernicus.

Well, we need not worry about this at all.  Orca is matured enough that
many
community members of FOSS who can either give part-time or almost
full-time
can take this work under the able guidance of wil and the likes.
I know of many open source projects which are litterally thriving just on
community based development.
lighttp is one such project and that web server fines its place on sites
like youtube!.

 Now the
task on hand is how  to save Orca and gnome accessibility. All these
days I couldn't do much for gnome or Orca development. from Now I can
spare 4 Hours on Saturday and 1 hour every day. Please advise me what
can I do to sustain this?




Bravo!
This is one such example.  I would like to appeal to many all community
members either programmers or not to uphold this project.
I was discussing this matter with a few funding agencies here in India who
are keen on foss based accessibility.  They have told me to compile a
report
on the priority list for orca.  Wil, you might also get a mail from some
of
those people off the list.
I might try and get in some funds in as well.  And it might not be too
small
a fund or too large.
Wil,  can we discuss this off list if you are interested?

Happy hacking.
Krishnakant.
