Mon-Oct 19 Meeting for #a11y

Hiya folks,  been a while since you seen me here, huh?  :-)

Apparently we now have meetings on Mondays at 14:00 UTC.  There will be
one this coming Monday in the #a11y IRC channel.

For this coming meeeting, I'd like to put the upcoming GNOME Marketing
Hackfest on the agenda.  I, and hopefully several others from this list,
will be attending the hackfest in Chicago.

We should discuss at Monday's meeting about what topics we should be
marketing about GNOME Accessibility.  What areas we need to improve on.
How do we wish to market our little community and so forth.

So see you all there as this is something that affects us all.

I wold like to use the meeting to gauge preliminary interest for the a11y hackfest, and get some feedback on how we could make it successful.

If I could wake up in time, that is..

Cheers,
  Eitan.

I know what you mean. I have to make an effort to stay up late enough, as I prefer to get to bed to allow myself enough time in the mornings to get up and exercise before work. :) I will make an effort to attend this meeting however.

Actually, no, I can't. Since SYdney's move to daylight savings time, this makes the meeting 1:00 AM for me, which makes my possible bed time anywhere from 1:00AM to 2:00AM, which is too late for me, so apologies guys.

If there is anything you would like my input on, feel free to raise it on the list, and I'll reply via email.

Eitan, I had another OSS Watch meeting but read through the IRC notes.

So Project:Possibility will be at CSUN, though the extent of
involvement is not yet known. We had discussions with CSUN after they
suggested P:P brought along students and mentors as they would like
more student involvement. The 3 weekends before will be P:P hacking
events (USC, UCLA, CSUN) so it's not clear if it will realistic to do
much more than meet up and help out at the booth or hang out in the
hacking room. It sounds like a good chance to forge links and
introduce students to GNOME a11y. I'm hoping to come along this year.

I'll keep everyone updated as plans develop.

Steve
