| DPic | Hello, I'm new. I think i'll be joining this team :) My name's Danny Piccirillo from the Ubuntu Massachusetts Team www.ubuntu-ma.us and i am an Ubuntu member. I've done most of the work on my team's wiki and i hope i can help out here | 21:13 |
| somerville32 | DPic, Welcome :) | 21:17 |
| desertc | Been following that Open Document Format initiative in your state's government? | 21:17 |
| DPic | Didn't it die? I thought Microsoft won the battle :( | 21:19 |
| desertc | Yes, I believe you are correct. I was wondering if there was anything new, since FSF is being very vocal about the ODF. | 21:20 |
| desertc | I've been researching the conclusion of that fiasco today, and it is clear to me that Ubuntu - and all desktop operating systems - need to consider integrated accessibility features. | 21:21 |
| desertc | From what I understand, the handicap advocacy groups would not accept that ODF did not have applications that supported accessibility features, like MS Office. They are a powerful group, and, really, technologists do not consider them enough. (ex: Video playback) | 21:22 |
| desertc | DPic: Anyway, welcome to the team. Your announcement of the Massachusetts team reminded me of the research I was doing today. Cheers. | 21:23 |

| DPic | That's something that was posted to the MA governor's site and we're trying to gain support for them | 21:27 |
| desertc | Thanks for the link. | 21:35 |
| desertc | It would be very appropriate for state governments to fund open source projects to provide this functionality. I wonder if an initiative like that could be undertaken. | 21:36 |
| desertc | OSS lends itself to be contributed through many sources (state governments) for a common goal (accessibility). One of those things that makes so much sense that you get the feeling it will never happen, though. | 21:37 |
