[opensuse-gnome] My a11y status update for weekly meeting
by Bryen 29 Nov '07

29 Nov '07

Since there's a possibility that I won't be able to attend tomorrow's meeting, I thought I would go ahead and send a status update here on the topic of a11y: = HPJ and I have picked up a bit of steam in the past week and really started to take a closer look at what what is available, what isn't available, what should be done, what makes sense, etc. It really is a big project but one that we feel will benefit openSuse greatly. = I've been examining the Orca tool closely and filed some bug reports on it. I've also joined the Orca mailing list over at gnome.org in order to get an even better understanding of that particular tool. Whenever relevant, I pass along information to HPJ. = I installed gok and briefly took a look at it. Didn't get it to work, but will give it more attention next week. This was not a tool that was obviously available to users. I happened to come across it when reading gnome.org's accessibility documentation. We'll need to figure out a good method for informing users that such tools are available on media/repos. = Federico seems to have helped to push one of the bugs I filed against OpenOffice a bit higher on that team's radar. Many thanks to you Federico. = There's a slowly growing number of bugs tagged with the gnome-accessibility status. I'll continue to work on that. = I sent an informal survey to my deaf-blind mailing list yesterday querying font usage in emails, to help give HPJ and me more perspective. = We're at the point now where generally, anything we find won't be fixed until 11.0. I'm in the midst of a hardware upgrade, but as soon as I'm done (hopefully next week), we're going to start testing on 11.0. Let me or HPJ know if you have any questions here.

[opensuse-gnome] Gnome Bug Day, 28 November: "Tidying Up"
by Mark Gordon 28 Nov '07

28 Nov '07

Bug Day on 28 November in #openSUSE-gnome, details at http://en.opensuse.org/GNOME/BugDays/20071128 Short version: we're going to try to close out as many of the 10.2 and older bugs as we can. After the previous two bug days, there aren't so many as there once were, and we should be able to tackle what's left. I'll be there all day (except for a short meeting in the afternoon). Please join me! -Mark Gordon

[opensuse-gnome] Gnome Keyring Manager
by Bryen 27 Nov '07

27 Nov '07

I'm looking to understand gnome-keyring-manager a little better, but there appears to be limited documentation. man page is unfinished, and online help just has a blank intro page. Is there detailed documentation somewhere? -- ---Bryen--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] #opensuse-gnome stats...
by Magnus Boman 26 Nov '07

26 Nov '07

Hey, For all you cool people who hang out on IRC, I've created a page on www.coolice.org which contains some fun stats (not to be taken too serious) from the openSUSE GNOME IRC channel. I originally found these sort of stats on http://suse-irc.org/stats/ so thought I generate one for us as well. At the moment, my log file is only covering 10 days. I might chase up my original log file which would have been on-line for quite a while. Cheers, Magnus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] Agenda for the 2007-11-29 meeting
by Magnus Boman 24 Nov '07

24 Nov '07

Gnomes, I've added the agenda for our next meetings. I've also changed the 3.5 billion different pages on the wiki to reflect this. I added a "new header" for this meeting to make the "Meetings TOC" look a bit better with the normal TOC (compare http://en.opensuse.org/GNOME/Meetings/20071129 with http://en.opensuse.org/GNOME/Meetings/20071122) Please have a look at http://en.opensuse.org/GNOME/Meetings/20071129 and let us know if something that needs to change.

[opensuse-gnome] [Ideas for 11.0] PulseAudio integration
by Rodrigo Moya 23 Nov '07

23 Nov '07

As part of the work for 11.0, we have started a subproject for PulseAudio integration: http://en.opensuse.org/GNOME/Ideas/11.0/PulseAudio There you'll find a TODO list as well as, at the end, some instructions on how to test the packages we're building. If you want to test, just follow those instructions. If you want to help packaging, have a look at: https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=home%3Arodrigomoya% 3Apulseaudio and ask me for permissions on that BS project. Anything to report, just do it on the list or on IRC to cyberorg, psp250 or myself. -- Rodrigo Moya <rodrigo(a)novell.com> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org
