Hi everybody,

this was the 2nd Accessibility Team [1] meeting [2].

[2] http://wiki.ubuntu.com/AccessibilityTeamMeetingAgenda


We were quite happy to see around 10-15 very actively thinking people
there. In short we decided to:

      * review http://www.themuso.com/ubuntu/accessibility closely,
        produce documentation from it (on the wiki first, docs later);
        apart from it may serve as a starting point for our testplans
      * investigate in the software and the links mentioned on
        http://linuxha.sourceforge.net/index.php (Linux Home Automation)
      * think about packages we may want to install by accessibility
        meta packages [3]
      * watch out for new software [4] we might want to include in
        Universe for further testing and consideration and report about
        it on the mailing list [5]
      * we discussed some more topics, like speech synthesis (speakup
        came up as well) and how to improve boot and d-i for low vision,
        but decided to spec-ing out options and then taking the
        discussion to ubuntu-devel at lists.ubuntu.com
      * organise the current accessibility pages and discuss specs on
        the mailing lists, so we can start acting soon.

We closed the meeting after 1,5 hours and were very happy to work on all
this as a team.


If you feel like this is a good idea yourself, join the team.

Have a nice day,
 Daniel
