[orca-list] planning to return



Hi all

Since there is currently a bug in speech-dispatcher or orca, I’m not sure which, which prevents orca from speaking in antergos, I am on windows only. For now. But as soon as this bug is fixed, I will install Linux and switch to using it. I will probably continue to use windows part time as a dual boot setup, but I want to start working with the Linux open source community once again. I’m not sure what I’ll do yet, but I plan to begin maintaining my espeak fixed repository again, and if the antergos people will allow it, I want to help antergos get better. They have integrated a11y into their installer, which is great, but I want to help them add the gconf stuff necessary to make orca start on desktop startup, which it currently doesn’t do, and add the keyboard shortcut to start and stop it, which is not set up by default. I’d also like to become the maintainer or at least the assistant maintainer of the US English language for espeak ng, although I’m not sure if that will ever happen. I vanished for a couple of months around Christmas but my new years resolution was to begin using open source again after trying to go windows only. It didn’t work out so well lol, although I am helping storm get his tintin pack working in windows Linux emulation mode, which is why I still must use windows.

Thanks
