| UndiFineD | Pendulum: the spanish translation was ok ? or did it need modification ? | 13:57 |
|---|---|---|
| Pendulum | haven't heard anything from the guy | 13:58 |
| UndiFineD | alright, just curious :) | 13:59 |
| * AlanBell hugs Pendulum | 14:23 | |
| AlanBell | http://www.lathatatlan.hu can't take wheelchairs | 14:24 |
| Pendulum | I'm not surprised | 14:24 |
| Pendulum | so as long as the UW dinner isn't there, I'm okay :P | 14:25 |
| Pendulum | to safely take wheelchair users (regardless of whether there's physical access or not), they'd have to have a blind wheelchair user who could guide. And I don't know any completely blind wheelchair users. (I know some who are legally blind) | 14:27 |
| AlanBell | I asked if there was just physical access to the dinner part | 14:28 |
| Pendulum | tbh, I suspect that if I make it to UDS-O, I will pretty much only be able to get around the hotel | 14:28 |
| Pendulum | (without getting out of chair and scooting up or down stairs) | 14:29 |
| Pendulum | because that's my memory of Budapest: everything has stairs | 14:29 |
| Pendulum | Luckily, I went to Budapest when I was 16 so I will not feel sad that I cqan't get into things like the castle as I've already been to them :) | 14:30 |
| Pendulum | okay, it looks like I might be able to use the metro if there are people with me (has escalators, but I know how to ride an escalator in a wheelchair if I've got people to help) | 14:41 |
| Pendulum | there are a couple buslines I could use | 14:41 |
| Pendulum | can't get good information about restaurants | 14:42 |
| Pendulum | dunno how I can get from airport | 14:42 |
| Pendulum | this could be exciting ;-) | 14:42 |
| AlanBell | really not sure I can go at all, but I was thinking of flying out for the last two days or something | 14:44 |
| Pendulum | *nods* | 14:46 |
| Pendulum | I'm going to apply for sponsorship and see what happens :) | 14:46 |
| Pendulum | Someone other than TheMuso has to be around to raise the accessibility flag ;-) | 14:47 |
| AlanBell | yup | 14:49 |
| AlanBell | I don't think I will go for sponsorship as I can't give up the week | 14:57 |
| AlanBell | flights are only a hundred quid | 14:58 |
| Pendulum | *nods* | 14:58 |
| AlanBell | I was thinking of organising an evening out for 30 people as an -accessibility event | 15:00 |
| Pendulum | *nods* | 15:00 |
| AlanBell | maybe getting some computers set up in the dark with Unity and get the desktop team along | 15:01 |
| Pendulum | haha | 15:03 |
| Pendulum | need to get it working at all that way first | 15:03 |
| AlanBell | yeah | 15:04 |
| AlanBell | would give them something to work towards :) | 15:04 |
| Pendulum | although the desktop team is pretty aware of what's going on and the importance | 15:04 |
| Pendulum | neil's definitely on board with getting accessibility to the best it can be | 15:05 |

| charlie-tca | Using today's i386 Natty image, I can do an accessible installation using Orca. | 17:23 |
| charlie-tca | However, unity no longer recognizes my ATI 9800 video card as usable, so I ran it from classis desktop | 17:23 |
| charlie-tca | Also, orca now speaks the password as clear letters and numbers | 17:24 |
| Pendulum | yay for being able to do the install | 17:26 |
| Pendulum | not so good on the rest of it | 17:26 |
| charlie-tca | yup | 17:26 |
| charlie-tca | progress, I guess | 17:26 |
| charlie-tca | heh, unity will be unusable by what, half the user base, if it won't recognize the 9800? | 17:27 |
| charlie-tca | Oh, well. At least orca spoke to me today through the entire installation dialogs | 17:28 |
| AlanBell | that is fantastic! | 17:42 |
| AlanBell | or a major regression corrected | 17:43 |
| charlie-tca | yes, kind of. | 17:45 |
| charlie-tca | It does not tell you it is done, so get to guess at that part | 17:46 |
| charlie-tca | But it did say "Return" when I hit the enter key to restart after the installation completed | 17:47 |
| AlanBell | how do you start the accessible install? | 17:47 |
| charlie-tca | hold right shift when it says it is starting from the cd | 17:47 |
| charlie-tca | or hold during bios checks | 17:48 |
| charlie-tca | oh, yeah, it fails when hitting any keys during the boot | 17:48 |
| charlie-tca | the splash screen seems to ignore the keypress it should see | 17:48 |
| charlie-tca | hm, and it booted into a gdm login without orca, but after logging in, it went to unity desktop with orca | 17:50 |
| charlie-tca | At least we are making progress. Now I can finish the install test case | 17:52 |
| AlanBell | yes, I will have a go at the install later this week I hope | 18:00 |
