Re: GUADEC?

[Magdalen Berns <m berns thismagpie com>]

Hi,

Thanks for invitation. I'm thinking of subscribing. But another point makes me in dubt: we work on Orca and gnome a11y stack, but not on gnome3. We use Compiz and MATE. So I wonder if such event can be pleased /ith us. 

 

What's your opinion about it?

Although we would of course like people to use GNOME Shell, it is not a bad thing for users of other desktops to prefer to use GNOME's accessibility API and its associated tools.

So, although GUADEC is obviously an event where we plan to focus on GNOME development specifically, I personally can't see it being a big deal breaker that an attendee might use compiz and MATE rather than GNOME Shell.

Whilst I can't speak for the whole team on this, personally I would echo Oliver's vibe and urge you to feel free to get involved. The more people interested in contributing to our accessibility efforts, the merrier really.

Magdalen

Hi, nice to hear from you, its great to hear about Hypra's wok. There
is some ongoing discussions about the A11y team's
presence at this year's edition of GUADEC. Unfortunately it seems as
several key members of the A11y team will unfortunately not be able to
make it [1] to GUADEC 2015.

That said as a local organizer I would be very happy to see
representatives from Hypra attend GUADEC 2015 [1]. Can mention that
the registration is open now [2]. Let's keep in touch Philippe.

Hi,

Can you tell me wether, actually, a11y will be dealt at GUADEC 2015 or not?
Where can I see how it'll be done and the talkers? I saw a lot of messages
here, but not fully understood the final decisions.

As Hypra works for a11y on at-spi, atk, orca, etc, we would be interessed in
meeting community leaders in this matter.

Regards,
