"Boston" Summit
- Piñeiro is configuring his laptop in order to do the pre-event homework as agreed.
- Talking with people led him to conclude that ubuntu was not the best to try wayland-gnome, so he is using f20 now.
- Building all the stack right now, so it's a wip right now.
Joanie did much of her pre-event homework and is adding her findings to Accessibility/Hackfests/Montreal2013
Joanie also updated Wayland/Applications.
- Orca was sometimes crashing upon launch with the Wayland backend. Joanie has since fixed that with a workaround, and will have it totally fixed by today's end (hopefully).
Accerciser reliably crashes upon launch with the Wayland backend. Joanie filed bug 709449 for that.
- But accerciser has some other problems and has not be worked on in quite some time.
- ACTION: Joanie will ping Javi about his plans w.r.t. his module.

Miscellaneous Time
- Joanie discovered that with pygobject, Wnck seems a bit broken. e.g. Wnck.Screen.get_default() in Wayland causes segfaults.
- And in the non-wayland world wnck_screen_get_windows_stacked() returns an empty list.
- Joanie suspects that Orca doesn't actually need the wnck code in question.
- Joanie also suspects this might be why Accerciser is segfaulting on launch with the wayland backend.
- ACTION: Joanie will investigate this for Accerciser and (hopefully) provide a patch so we can use Accerciser to test.
- As an early idea of what we can do for webkitgtk hackfest, some ideas are appearing, such as:
- Review atk_text_get_text implementation.
- Look about moving atk tests to Webkit2 tests, as right now it only have one at-spi test related with the hierarchy
Review the W3C ARIA mappings in order to check correctness and which needs new ATK API.
- Disclaimer: all of the above are early ideas and subject to change.
Action Items
- Joanie:
- Ping Javi about his plans w.r.t. his module.
- Investigate the Wayland-related breakage in Accerciser and (hopefully) provide a patch so we can use Accerciser to test.
