AlanBellhi all13:47
Pendulumhi AlanBell 13:51
AlanBellok, so how are we doing these personas then?14:20
Pendulumlet me look at the most up to date list and then I'll give you my ideas14:29
Pendulum(sorry, still waking up/doing breakfast/etc. here)14:29
AlanBelloh, there have been three more submissions14:35
AlanBellactually two sensible ones14:36
Pendulum\o/14:45
Pendulumdo you want to add them in and then e-mail at least to me?14:45
AlanBellonce we know what we are doing I will try and grab some extra helpers15:12
PendulumI think the first thing we do is just group in terms of impairment15:12
AlanBellok15:20
Pendulumthe real reason to do this today is less a matter of it will take a lot of time so needs lots of people and more that I want to make sure we're all working off the same things and have the same spreadsheet :)15:22
AlanBellso there are a couple of deaf users, 1, 16, 2715:22
AlanBella number of blind/vision impaired users15:22
Pendulumdo any of them have other impairments? (multiple impairments are what will make this tricky)15:23
AlanBellyes15:23
AlanBelland I would expect the personas to have multiple impairments15:23
Pendulumor at least some of them15:24
Pendulumokay, let's do the easiest bits first15:24
AlanBellthere are some users with mobility/strength/control issues15:24
Pendulumwell I'm just thinking first we pull out the people who have a single impariment and group them15:26
Pendulumthen we figure out how to group the people with multiple impairments15:26
AlanBellok, I am just going to close the survey, don't want anyone else responding and wasting their time15:27
Pendulumok15:27
Pendulumso 1 & 27 definitely go together because they're both deaf only15:27
Pendulumnumber 4 doesn't have any impairment info and doesn't seem to use accessibility software or hardware really15:31
Pendulumwhich to me means it should probably be taken out?15:31
Pendulumit's great that said person loves Ubuntu, but they don't really give us information useful to us15:32
Pendulumhiya charlie-tca 15:35
charlie-tcaHello, Pendulum 15:35
charlie-tcapower issues today here15:35
Pendulumhow're you?15:35
charlie-tcaDoing great! and you?15:36
AlanBellyeah, I should have skipped number 415:36
Pendulumcharlie-tca: i'm swimming along ;-)15:38
charlie-tcaheh15:40
charlie-tcaHoping to have things running long enough this weekend to hit the wiki, too15:40
Pendulum:)15:40
AlanBellI have re-ordered my rows a bit15:45
Pendulumokay15:45
Pendulumcan you list out the new order by persona #?15:45
Pendulumerr... peron15:45
Pendulum*person15:45
Pendulumor response number15:46
Pendulumor whatever the heck we're calling it that my brain isn't finding the word for?15:46
AlanBell3, 5, 11, 16,20,21,22,26 are all partially sighted or blind15:47
AlanBellhowever that is two totally separate things really15:47
Pendulumit is, but putting them together to begin with makes sense15:48
Pendulumwe can break down further once we've got initial breakdown done :)15:48
AlanBell27 and 1 are deaf, and there are some interesting aspects to that like subtitles15:48
Pendulumyeah15:48
Pendulumand visual notification15:48
AlanBelland video chat15:49
Pendulumyeah15:49
Pendulumtoo bad MichelleQ and maco aren't here :P15:49
AlanBelland wanting more people to understand sign language15:49
AlanBellthe rest are broadly speaking mobility related15:50
AlanBellthings like hand strength and control15:50
Pendulumyeah15:51
Pendulumwell and we have a couple people with learning difficulties/disabilities15:51
Pendulumone with motor + dyspraxia & dyslexia and #2 I think was cognitive in similar sort of ways15:51
AlanBellyes, memory difficulties15:51
AlanBelloh, 2 and 18 are the same15:54
AlanBelldo hope they didn't actually forget they had done it the first time15:54
AlanBelllooks like a double press of the submit button or something15:56
Pendulum*nods*16:00
AlanBellare there any impairments not represented in the responses?16:01
Pendulummental illness, but I suspect people with mental illness are less likely to need adaptions16:04
PendulumI wish we had more learning/cognitive, but we have some16:05
AlanBellno mention of autism16:09
Pendulumyeah16:10
AlanBellI did describe myself as "almost neurotypical" in the test post that I deleted16:10
Pendulumheh16:10
Pendulumbtw, one of the ones in the VI/blind group is actually also mobility impaired, he just barely mentions it16:11
AlanBellok, so how many personas can we boil this down to?16:12
PendulumI'd like to see if we can boil down to 5ish16:12
Pendulumbut it may take 6 or 716:12
AlanBelldeaf, partially sighted, blind, mobility, cognitive?16:12
Pendulumyeah16:12
Pendulumthat was my initial thought16:12
AlanBellas principal impairments, with a bit of overlap16:13
Pendulumright16:13
PendulumI mean, having the partially sighted also have hearing loss, would make sense as a bit of overlap16:13
Pendulum(for example)16:14
AlanBellshould also have a range of ages16:14
AlanBellmaybe one quite elderly16:14
Pendulumyeah16:15
Pendulumranging to kids16:15
Pendulumor, a kid16:15
Pendulumrather16:15
Pendulumsorry, I'm doing a lot of lack of brain function today16:16
AlanBellone or two rather successful in what they are doing (in business, sport or something)16:16
Pendulumat least one who works as a programmer or sysadmin or something similar16:17
AlanBellthey need to be awesome people that we want to help16:17
Pendulumyes!16:17
AlanBellwhat countries do they live in?16:18
Pendulumhmm... good question16:19
Pendulumtbh, I'm not even sure we need to answer all these questions today16:19
Pendulummy main goal for the personas was to get things grouped and sorted so that we had a starting point and then hopefully can get people to commit to working on one persona16:21
PendulumAlanBell: what hours would be good for you for a meeting on Wednesday?16:23
Pendulumnigelb: ping16:24
Pendulum(or any other day of the week, I'm flexible other than not being able to do anything after about 19:00 on Monday and Wednesday)16:27
AlanBellI am pretty good all day on wednesday16:30
Pendulumcharlie-tca: are you interested in working on the personas?17:00
Pendulumooh... this is cool http://www.frostbitesystems.com/17:13
Pendulumoh, nevermind, it seems they already do17:14
Pendulumthey just don't have Ubuntu on their list17:14
Pendulumbah, wrong channel17:14
Pendulumbut the frostbite systems link is for us17:14
Pendulumthey sell systems running Linxu and optimised for people who are VI or blind17:15
Pendulum*Linux17:15
Pendulumand they do do Ubuntu installs17:16
charlie-tcaPendulum: I don't think I can18:25
Pendulumcharlie-tca: no worries :) was just curious18:30
macoim awake now what happened?20:35
Pendulummaco: I can't remember. something about deafness :P20:35
