Re: Help Wanted for GUADEC

[Mario <mariocs gmail com>]

Hello everybody,

I'm Mario Camara, manager of the e-Accessibility project at Consorcio Fernando de los Rios, which is a public organization stemed from Junta de Andalucia.

Currently, we are funding the following projects which are related to GNOME in a direct way:

1. Improvements to ORCA and the creation of a profile which mimics JAWS. In this project ONCE is an active collaborator. It is carried out by EMERGYA.

2. Improvements to OCRFeeder. Again, ONCE is collaborating and EMERGYA is in charge of the development.

3. Improvements to EVINCE. Once more, ONCE is collaborating but in this case the tasks were assigned to Yaco.

4. Improvements to Caribou which are not only switch access but also addition of text prediction techniques for Spanish. It has been contracted to WARP.

5. The creation of a text-to-Braille transcript tool for Spanish Braille 1. It will be done by Onirica.

6. Improvements to EVIACAM, a head-based mouse controller. This will be done by the creator of EVIACAM.

Info for the first 3 projects was put here by Juanjo Marin http://live.gnome.org/Guadalinfo_accesible.

About our participation in the pre-conference event, we are definitely interested in taking part in it, but due to our internal bureaucratic procedures I can't give you any answer about who, what or when yet. I'll be back when this topic will be clearer in our parent organization.

Best regards.

Mario Camara.

Hi José,


That's great to hear. You mean if I have more info about the Pre-conference in the Hague? Let me point you first to the GUADEC site, where there's a short text about it:

http://www.guadec.org/index.php/guadec/2010/schedConf/overview#open-desktop-day

Do you have a website of these projects, that I can put on the GUADEC site?

best,
Sanne

   I think you mean the set of projects funded by the Consorcio
   Fernando de
   los Ríos, from Andalusia. There are a few of them and they are being
   developed by spanish companies. Some of them are going to Zaragoza
   tomorrow to give more details about how this is working and what
   are the
   mid term goals from an a11y point of view.

   I work for one of those companies (Yaco) and I already talked with
   guys
   from some of those companies (Emergya and Onirica) and hope to see
   more
   people from more companies (Warp) in the marketing hackfest to talk
   about these topics.

   Best regards,


Hi! I'm J. Félix Ontañón from Emergya, thanks Lorenzo for introducing us.

We will be pleased to talk about the gnome-a11y involved projects here in Andalusia,
did you have more info about the Extremadura pre-conference?

Cheers!
