Edgy+1 Accessibility planning meeting

[Henrik Nilsen Omma <henrik ubuntu com>]

Hello!

Time: Oct, 23rd, 19:00 UTC
Place: #ubuntu-meeting on irc.freenode.net
Agenda: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Accessibility/Team/MeetingAgenda

We recently had an Accessibility team meeting where we focused on 
getting the Edgy Eft release tested and polished. We also did a quick 
round of introductions, which was great! The past week members of the 
access team worked closely with core Ubuntu developers to iron out the 
last wrinkles in our accessibility stack, with good results. Edgy Eft is 
looking to be a highly accessible and usable release!

But we can do more! At the next meeting we'll primarily discuss what new 
features we should add to Edgy+1 and beyond. I have started on a list of 
specifications here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Accessibility/Specs Please 
help flesh those out with use cases and ideas or add your own. These 
specs will be discussed in detail at the Mountain View development 
summit Nov. 5-10.

We should also talk about how we should organise ourselves as a team. 
Planning and development is one aspect, but there is also testing, 
documentation writing, and user support in the forum and mailing lists. 
We already have some good participation in these areas, but we should 
discuss structuring it better and making it easier for new participants 
to help. One or two people to take charge of Accessibility 
documentation, mailing list support and forum support would be great 
IMO! We'll be joined by two of our Team/Community experts in Ubuntu for 
this meeting Daniel and Jono, so I look forward to some excellent advice 
on this :)

We've changed the time of this meeting to make it easier for people in 
the Americas to participate (which unfortunately makes it a bad time in 
Australia, sorry).

ps. Sorry for cross-posting, but I expect there may be readers of 
gnome-accessibility who might want to stop by and give some input on 
future developments.
