Accessibility Team Events

Montreal: Yes or No?

  • Last week the conclusion was that we needed to talk with other teams to check how many will be there.
  • Piñeiro stated that the release-team meeting is today, and Montreal is likely on the agenda.
  • Juanjo said that marketing people are not going to organize anything at/for Montreal.
  • Joanie proposes that we (the team) forget about Montreal. But if we need representation last minute she will drive up.
  • Joanie further proposes that if we all agree, we announce this to the Board and/or Foundation List.
  • ACTION: Joanie will announce the team decision to not attend Montreal to the Board and Foundation List.

Hackfest before/after GUADEC in A Coruña?

  • Proposed dates (from bid) were Monday 16th July to Sunday 22nd July, but the GUADEC 2012 dates not yet set in stone as far as Brian is aware.
  • Joanie thinks we should plan on an A Coruña team hackfest around the time of GUADEC, with exact dates and topic to be decided later in the year.
  • Conclusion: Tentatively the Accessibility team will organize an accessibility hackfest at/around the time of GUADEC.

Do we want something else between now and then?

  • Our plan is use the summit as a kind of "see the news" after our atk hackfest.
  • As this is really unlikely we will met again face-to-face more than a year after this hackfest, do we want something sooner?
  • Conclusion: Team members think that it would be good to have a ATK/AT-SPI2 followup before GUADEC.
  • There is no plan yet, but the discussion can continue on the mailing list.
