GNOME Accessibility Team

Report for the Fourth Quarter 2011

PLANNING PAGE

Note: This is currently where team members should list the stuff they would like to see included in the team report which we submit to the GNOME Marketing Team. It's not a report until it winds up here. :)

Summary

Alejandro PiƱeiro Iglesias and Joanmarie Diggs

The Accessibility Team actively worked on a number of fronts during the fourth quarter:

Development for GNOME 3.4

  • Work continued with the UI design team to improve the user interface for magnifier user preferences.
  • Algorithms were researched in order to provide compelling support for inverse video and brightness/contrast.
  • Performance improvements were made in Orca, ATK, and AT-SPI2.
  • Orca's support for WebKitGtk content has been further enhanced.

Friends of GNOME Campaign

  • The Marketing team, in partnership with our team, planned A Friends of GNOME campaign.
  • The campaign launched in December with a goal to raise US $20,000 and hopefully make 2012 the "Year of Accessibility" for GNOME.

Events

  • Two members of our team attended the WebKitGtk hackfest where they focused on continued improvements in the area of Orca's support for content viewed in Epiphany.

  • The next Accessibility hackfest is being planned: Many team members will return to Igalia in January to continue their collaboration on augmented and more consistently-implemented accessibility support.
  • Several team members submitted talks for FOSDEM.
