[01:07] <Pendulum> AlanBell: see I did get it done :P
[01:54] <cprofitt> Pendulum: just curious where we want to put the header guidelines...
[01:55] <cprofitt> my thought was as a sub-page of the accessibility wiki, but I wanted to confirm
[01:56] <Pendulum> hmm... good question
[01:56] <Pendulum> accessibility wiki makes sense and we can move them if it turns out they're better suited somewhere else?
[01:56] <cprofitt> ok -- I will make it there
[01:57] <cprofitt> how many folks do we have in accessibility? Are there any folks who would mentor BT folks towards assisting accessibility?
[01:58] <Pendulum> we don't have a huge number right now
[01:58]  * cprofitt nods
[01:58] <cprofitt> I might take the accessibility part and put it under another FG until we grow a bit then
[01:58] <cprofitt> perhaps under the dev fg... 
[01:58] <cprofitt> or bugs
[01:58] <cprofitt> there are really two parts -- building accessible apps,... testing accessibility
[01:59] <Pendulum> nigelb and charlie-tca both do bug stuff
[01:59] <Pendulum> AlanBell does some testing
[01:59] <cprofitt> yeah...
[01:59] <cprofitt> and we have an active bugs-FG and dev-FG
[02:00] <cprofitt> hgghd is going to join BT to mentor the bugs-fg
[02:00] <MichelleQ1> I can do what I can to encourage testing, too.
[02:01] <MichelleQ1> Can't help with technical specifics, but I *can* help think of things that need to be tested for varying abilities, etc.
[02:01] <cprofitt> MichelleQ1: cool... and you are joing as well...
[02:01] <cprofitt> I am thinking we can get a sep. accessibility FG formed, but perhaps not right away
[02:02] <Pendulum> yeah
[02:02] <MichelleQ1> just holler when/if there's something I can do to help.  :-)
[02:03] <Pendulum> I'd love to say we have definite mentors, but right now i think so many of us are over stretched that it's not necessarily possible
[02:03] <cprofitt> Pendulum: I understand...
[02:03] <cprofitt> so I think I get some -dev and -bugs folks working with accessibility
[02:03] <cprofitt> get your team better staffed
[02:03] <Pendulum> :)
[02:03] <cprofitt> then we can make those folks mentors once they know your team well enough 
[02:03] <cprofitt> and you guys approve of them
[02:03] <cprofitt> slow, but steady pace
[02:04] <Pendulum> *nods*
[15:56] <Pendulum> TheMuso: is there a chance you and I can do a quick meeting at some point between now and Thursday? (you name a time and I'll figure out how to make it :) )
[18:52] <charlie-tca> hm, first natty bug filed against the alternate image. No audio for screen-reader install
[18:54] <Pendulum> charlie-tca: will you be able to make the meeting Wednesday?
[18:54] <Pendulum> have the alternate images ever had screen reader support?
[18:56] <charlie-tca> I don't know, but it an option available during the installation process
[18:56] <Pendulum> ah, ok
[18:56] <charlie-tca> Pendulum: yes, I will make the meeting
[18:56] <charlie-tca> my thought is if you give me the option, it should work
[18:57] <Pendulum> yeah, I agree there
[18:58] <charlie-tca> yay! got david barth adding a11y to unity bugs
[18:59] <Pendulum> :)
