erkan^Gooien je handen in de lucht te schreeuwen "Yipee" (-:01:13
PendulumTheMuso: do you know anything about an old access website at access.ubuntu.com ?01:15
TheMusoPendulum: I only vaguely remember it mentioned in the past.01:16
JanCwell, brltty refers to it  ;)01:17
JanCor whatever package provides the brltty boot script01:18
JanCPendulum: any news about a possible a11y track or devroom @ FOSDEM?01:21
JanCor peopel interested in it?01:22
PendulumJanC: it's being discussed on Gnome A11y01:22
JanCsomebody I know who is blind was going to forward it to other blind linux lists & forums & developers he knows too01:24
Pendulumwell it turns out one of the Gnome A11y people had been in discussion with the guy about it01:24
JanCand the FOSDEM organiser who proposed this knows an OpenSuse board member who's working on this etc.01:25
PendulumI think that's possibly the Gnome A11y person as well01:25
