That's what my browser is telling me. 16:08:03 #info this is needed because right now, gnome-shell is not accessible under wayland, because gtk AtkUtil 16:08:17 #info implementation is overriding clutter AtkUtil implementation 16:08:31 #info additionally, API has been working on some AtkDocument stuff 16:08:45 #info and implementing it on evince, as part of improving accessibility on pdf documents 16:09:15 #info poppler stuff is also being reviewed/approved these days, so poppler master has a better tagged-pdf support 16:09:37 #info in the same way, as Piñeiro is in writing-email mode today, he will send a ping to the wayland+accessibiilty thread 16:10:03 #info probably suggesting about moving some of the current bugs to wayland, gnome-shell or bugzilla 16:10:05 (done) 16:10:22 #info Joanie is still working on the focus: deprecation stuff. 16:10:40 #info Joanie is also investigating various and sundry Firefox 25 accessibility regressions. :-/ 16:10:43 (done) 16:12:02 ah, I forgot something 16:12:22 #info API also replied the email that mgorse sent about the new at-spi2 API, specifically about 16:12:31 #info events with more info, and some async API 16:12:40 (done) this time for real 16:13:04 mgorse, ? I don't know if you want to add something about that, or if that is still on mailing list discussion moe 16:13:05 *mode 16:13:21 #info mgorse has done some work on an async api and emailed g-a-devel (to which API just alluded) 16:13:24 * clown makes note to read those at-spi2 emails. 16:13:24 done 16:13:33 yeah, I need to take some time to reply to that email you sent. Thanks for replying 16:14:45 I don't know if this is all that important, but it probably relates to 3.12: 16:15:23 All of the gs-magnifier bugs have been re-classified. There is now a "magnfier" component in bugzilla for the gnome-shell project. 16:15:48 the only reason I know is because I was on the cc list, and was automatically emailed when andre made the change. 16:15:55 Is that worth info'ing? 16:16:00 yeah, we all got spammed 16:16:22 s/magnfier/magnifier/ 16:16:39 clown, as you wish 16:16:46 made a quick info, and then we can move on 16:16:47 it might mean the profile of the magnifier is going up. 16:16:58 going up? 16:17:01 what do you mean? 16:17:12 #info The gnome-shell project has added a new component for tracking the magnfier. 16:17:42 #info all gs-mag bugs have been moved to this new component ("component" in the sense of a bugzilla component). 16:18:07 API, going up means "becoming more important". 16:18:13 just speculation on my part. 16:18:14 hmmm 16:18:16 well, I don't think so 16:18:31 component was added because magdalen asked for a component 16:18:39 ah.... 16:19:05 so after all this 16:19:12 anything else on this topic? 16:20:59 nobody saying anything 16:21:01 so I will move 16:21:16 #topic W3C updates 16:21:18 clown, ? 16:21:50 #info The ARIA working group received comments on the UAIG last call draft from the gnome-a11y community. 16:21:57 thanks guys, by the way! 16:22:04 :) 16:22:16 #info A small sub-group worked on responsese to those comments. 16:22:39 #info Those responses have been pushed to the full group requesting group consensus. 16:23:11 #info In addition, we are trying to find a compromise to somehow include the requested changes given W3C protocol. 16:23:26 (thanks for that) 16:23:33 #info All this is intended to be wrapped up by end of day Friday (tommorrow). 16:23:41 done — questions? 16:23:57 no questions from me 16:24:29 me neither 16:24:35 ok, just one more from me 16:24:39 with my igalian hat on 16:24:44 what colour is it? 16:24:49 black 16:24:57 then mine is white. 16:25:15 #info Igalia has become a W3C member recently, one of the reasons behind, is stuff like this "lets collaborate for accessibility" 16:25:22 clown, has a lot of colors 16:25:30 is a round hat that mimics igalia logo 16:25:31 red nose... 16:26:07 * clown congratulates igalia. off the record, I would like to see more gnome representation... 16:26:22 clown, thanks 16:26:49 igalians are very gnomers :-) 16:27:11 so after this little self-promotion 16:27:15 more questions, doubts? 16:27:30 is joanie the only one from igalia that is participating? 16:27:49 maybe that's an miscellaneous question... 16:27:50 first one 16:28:05 and I'm roping API into it :) 16:28:26 others within Igalia have interests in also becoming active 16:28:32 although I was already roped or something 16:28:32 but who does what remains to be seen 16:28:49 as some of last changes on ATK were based on first review on that UIG joanie made 16:29:00 thank you API :) 16:29:13 so, moving? 16:29:18 and thank you mgorse 16:29:22 are you saying that the "flaws" in the UAIG inspired improvements to ATK? 16:29:23 but yeah, moving I think 16:29:44 clown, well, were flaws on ATK 16:29:52 not in all cases 16:29:56 something like "in order to implement this fancy aria stuff, do this hack on ATK" 16:30:07 sometimes what happens is our platform lacks needed API 16:30:08 yes, true, some of them 16:30:15 and you can go two ways in that case: 16:30:20 1. hack 16:30:28 2. add the needed API 16:30:42 I am afraid 1 has happened far too often 16:30:54 indeed. 16:32:40 I think that that is a good bridge to move topics 16:32:40 so 16:32:45 @topic Marketing 16:32:46 ups 16:32:49 #topic Marketing 16:32:51 jjmarin, ? 16:32:57 #info Following Jon W.

Just in case any of you have a local copy ? (not very probable I think) . Just in case, the text https://wiki.gnome.org/Accessibility/PythonPoweredAccessibility 16:42:52 * clown looks 16:43:23 * API looking too 16:43:59 I guess that this is using pyatspi1 16:44:04 so yes probably obsolete 16:44:07 Weird. There are no tags in the html for that page... 16:44:23 although could be the base to do something similar with updated stuff 16:46:03 two minutes and nobody talking, I see that as a signal that the meeting is over 16:46:09 so unless someone objects quick 16:46:15 I will end the meeting 16:46:17 in 16:46:18 3 ... 16:46:21 2 ... 16:46:24 1 ... 16:46:26 boom 16:46:28 #endmeeting
