Re: A11y Holiday Party

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

So...call me Grinch Willie.  :-)

You guys can party from 15:00-16:00UTC, but at the currently regularly 
scheduled time of 16:00-17:00UTC, I'm going to cover up the rum balls 
and break out the pencils and paper:

We are having a "perfect storm" of changes for GNOME 2.30.  There's a 
lot of work to do, and it is now a very good time for us to have a 
regular structured meeting to go over status and issues were having on 
the various fronts.

I've updated http://live.gnome.org/Accessibility/GNOME3 to reflect the 
critical touchpoints for GNOME 2.30.  This doesn't mean other things 
such as Orca, MouseTrap, accerciser, etc., are not important.  Instead, 
the list is the list of things that will potentially break GNOME 
accessibility miserably if work is not done on them.

If your name is on the list at 
http://live.gnome.org/Accessibility/GNOME3, please come to the post 
party meeting at 16:00UTC and be prepared to give a short status report 
of where you are, what issues you face, and what kind of help you need 
to succeed.  If I've stupidly forgotten you, please chastise and 
embarrass me in public because I deserve it, and then please go update 
the WIKI page and add yourself.

NOTE to Mark Doffman -- since we meet in the FSG a11y meetings on 
Tuesdays, there's no need to duplicate AT-SPI/D-Bus discussion in the 
GNOME #a11y meeting (i.e., you don't need to come if you don't want to).

Thanks!

Will

PS - We can talk about a time change for future meetings, but we'll keep 
the one on December 7th at 16:00UTC.
