erkan^lip reading is very diffiuclt for me and i have very energy need00:00
JanCerkan^: right, learning lip-reading might help you a lot (even if it's not perfect)00:00
JanChe also had a friend helping him00:00
JanChaving a friend to help is difficult to plan of course...  :-/00:01
erkan^I know deaf and deafblind people that they can lip reading, but it is difficult for me00:01
erkan^my prefering is sign language and tactile signing language00:01
JanCerkan^: that makes things more difficult to go t oa "normal" school00:02
macoerkan^: lip reading is very difficult for everyone00:02
erkan^yep00:02
macoerkan^: do you know both nederlands & american sign languages? if so, gallaudet takes many international students00:03
erkan^but it is problem for deaf too, exampe they can not understand ---> feeling , emoticon.. 9 years age i have very nightmarre... i was very angry on womam. but she can not sign language and i can not speak good when i am angry or i don' t like... very hurt heart pffff00:04
JanCwell, lip-reading combined with partial hearing is useful, but if you hear nothing it involves a lot of heuristics & guessing probably?00:04
erkan^I know Dutch Sign Langue, because that is my mottherlanguage. and ASL I know little, maco00:05
erkan^,,good communcation is very important'' , don' t ccare or you can lip-reading etc... 00:06
erkan^that is right, JanC 00:06
macoJanC: yes.... "ok so that was either a g or k, followed by o, then..."00:07
erkan^maco, i have heard for friend for me that in America is very advanced with ASL00:08
macoi'm sorry, i didn't understand that00:08
JanCmaco: right (I was in a talk that lacked microphone/amplifier during FOSDEM last weekend, so I was sort of trying to lip-read to "fill the blanks")00:09
erkan^jan, help me please: ik bedoel... een vriend van me vertelde me dat in Amerika is heel erg vooruitstrevende met de Amerikaanse Sign Language, JanC 00:09
erkan^vooruitstrevende = advance ?00:09
JanCmaco: a friend of erkan^ told him that that the US is very progressive with ASL00:10
erkan^oh yes --> progressive00:10
JanCsomehow I think that's limited to certain environments  ;)00:11
erkan^and tactile sign language in america is very progressive too00:11
macoyes i think so too00:11
macomost americans would not know what to do if they met a deaf person, other than look for a pen & paper00:11
erkan^maco?00:11
JanCmaco: to be honest, neither do I00:12
erkan^In september 2011 I go perhaps visit in Seabeck or another city ... i don' t know precious00:12
macoit is somewhat more likely that i meet other hearing people who sign because i live only 20 minutes from Gallaudet, but most of the ones i meet can only finger-spell, not do whole words00:12
erkan^--> Deafblindness Organization" 00:12
maco(and even with being so close to Gallaudet, i don't know many)00:12
JanCI think looking for pen & paper is a better reaction than ignore people   ;)00:12
erkan^I often use pen & paper when i communication with heard people00:13
JanCerkan^: or IRC !  :P00:13
erkan^whahaha 00:13
macoi was surprised how many people at Ohio LinuxFest knew ASL, even though it was only like 5 hearing people00:13
erkan^IRC is for every :P00:13
erkan^sommige mensen weten niet dat ik ben doof :p00:13
erkan^did I say bad? :P00:16
maco*shrug* you said dutch00:16
JanCerkan^: I didn't know you were deaf until I mentioned maco's 'gally' project on an ubuntu-nl IRC channel and you told me00:17
erkan^wow00:18
erkan^OerHeks vroeg me of wilde ik gebarenwoorden in de film voor hem maken, herinner ik JanC 00:18
erkan^oesp sorry, maco00:19
JanCerkan^: yes, OerHeks wanted to learn sign language, and I mentioned maco's project, then you told me  ☺00:19
erkan^OerHeks asked me or I will make " sign language words"  in the movie for him, same way as your movie gally " , maco00:20
macoah00:20
JanCfor Dutch Signing Language00:20
erkan^yes00:20
erkan^DSL00:20
macooh right i need to give you commit bits00:20
JanC:-)00:20
erkan^What do you mean, maco?00:21
erkan^" commit bits"  ? what is that :S 00:21
JanCerkan^: permissions to upload videos00:22
erkan^yes00:22
erkan^I think that i go make movie in mart 2011 00:22
erkan^than I will tell to JanC and maco when i am clear with a moive 00:23
macook added00:24
erkan^I think that I save videos in youtube or in www.online.nl 00:25
erkan^save = upload i mean00:25
erkan^which URL have you uploaded movies , maco ?00:26
macothey're in bzr00:26
macobut nederlands bzr is empty right now00:27
macosomeone said his wife was going to help, but then nothing :(00:27
erkan^I see email 00:27
macoyou can copy the ASL one and then change the videos and the descriptions00:27
macoto get started00:27
erkan^ok00:29
JanCmaco: I saw recently somebody is working on an open source SignWriting font (including Unicode codepoints etc.)00:30
JanCmaybe that's useful for gally too...00:30
macois signwriting the same everywhere?00:30
macoi mean, the correspondence to signs, not the meaning of the symbols00:30
erkan^I hope really that next week or so is it internet connect normal, than i can see very with bzr etc. because i use a wifi for another neightbours , this wifi is very bad00:30
JanCSignWriting is somewhat like IPA for spoken languages00:31
macook00:31
macodoes it actually get used in europe?00:31
macohere it's a "some academics know it but the common deaf person doesn't" thing00:31
JanCin some places00:31
JanCnot sure how widespread it is though...00:31
JanCit looks like something that could be useful for those who understand though00:32
macoas i have no understanding of it, i dont think its something i'd implement, but if someone wanted to send a patch to make it display the sign-writing for a given sign....sure00:33
JanCit "describes" signing, so you can explain gestures to people without needing a video00:34
JanCthat's what I find interesting  ;)00:34
erkan^i seee --> Nederlands Gebaar Taal (Dutch Sign Language) 00:39
erkan^but good spell is Nederlandse Gebarentaal 00:39
JanCI think SignWriting could be a really helpful tool for learning sign languages (especially when learning more than one)00:42
JanCand for creating the sign language equivalent of "dictionaries"00:43
JanCthe alternative is using videos, but that's a lot of work...00:45
macoerkan^: ok, i'll fix that00:47
erkan^(-:00:47
erkan^I want help you00:48
macoerkan^: fixed!00:48
erkan^Cool00:50
erkan^very nice (-:00:50

JanCthe most disturbing part about text-to-speech programs is that they cost 10× more for a11y than for phone menus...01:22
erkan^Example: Games Nintendo ds cost 24 euro per stuk. 1 millon people in the world can buy that, than a company can take very money. but special communications-programs from handicap are very expensive, becuase veryh little handicap (example 100) buy a speciall software01:22

charlie-tcaFor those wanting to help: We need as many shortcuts documented as possible. We have a wiki page with a few of them at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity/KeyboardShortcuts14:55
charlie-tcaThere are many more in Ubuntu, Compiz (ccsm) and Unity that need to be documented.14:55
charlie-tcaIf you are just learning to use Ubuntu, having everyone know that Ctrl+Alt+t is a known shortcut to the terminal is worthless if you can't find it somewhere14:57
Pendulumcharlie-tca: do we have any records of any a11y bugs against launchpad?15:14
charlie-tcaagainst launchpad itself, I have not seen any yet15:14
Pendulum*nods*15:15
charlie-tcaIt might be I haven't them yet, too15:15
Pendulumwas just talking to one of the launchpad guys and he was interested in making sure launchpad is as accessible as possible15:15
charlie-tcaI will keep looking and let you know if I find any, then.15:16
Pendulumthanks :)15:16
duanedesignPendulum: hello16:27
UndiFineDduanedesign: how is your accessible cli coming along ?17:46
UndiFineD;)17:46
duanedesignUndiFineD: i am working on a new release right now17:48
duanedesignhopefully be out early next week17:48
UndiFineDI really love it17:48
duanedesignlots more translations. The search is no longer case-sensitive.17:48
UndiFineDand history size ?17:49
duanedesignohhhh, glad you mentioned that17:49
duanedesignyes. I was unable to get a few other things on the preferences panel, but that does work17:50
duanedesigni will remove the others for now and just have the history size17:50
UndiFineDwell I like that progress you are making17:50
duanedesigni am so glad you mentioned that:P17:50
* duanedesign makes a note not to forget again17:50
UndiFineDit works better for me than terminator17:50
duanedesignUndiFineD: i have a lot of commands that i do not use enough to be easy to find, if at all, in the history17:51
UndiFineDoh I meant scrollback history actually17:52
duanedesignso I use it a lot17:52
duanedesign:)17:52
UndiFineDwith 340 processes ps auxf, the top disappears17:52
UndiFineDnothing that cant be solved with less17:53
=== AlanBell is now known as KieranBell
charlie-tcaum, that seems wrong... I want more. You can have it with less ;-)18:05
JackyAlcine:D18:06
charlie-tcaFor those wanting to help: We need as many shortcuts documented as possible. We have a wiki page with a few of them at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity/KeyboardShortcuts18:07
charlie-tcaThere are many more in Ubuntu, Compiz (ccsm) and Unity that need to be documented.18:07
charlie-tcaIf you are just learning to use Ubuntu, having everyone know that Ctrl+Alt+t is a known shortcut to the terminal is worthless if you can't find it somewhere18:08
JackyAlcineSo true.18:08
JackyAlcineI actually changed it to meta+T.18:09
charlie-tcaHaving all the shortcuts in one place would help a lot, since they are either not listed or hard to find.18:10
=== KieranBell is now known as AlanBell
duanedesigncharlie-tca: cool will see if i can add some19:02
charlie-tcathank you19:03
duanedesignctrl + r in the terminal is one I just learned and wis I had known awhile ago19:03
duanedesignwish*19:03
PendulumAlanBell: do you remember who it was that was asking about capslock and Orca recently?19:50
AlanBellsorry, no I don't recall that19:59
AlanBellgksudo yes, capslock, no20:00
macoi can scroll back20:03
maco<Billg> hello again, anyne know how to fix an orca bug where the orca key in laptop mode will also toggle caps on and off when you press but otherwise works fine? I dont have this problem in 10.10 but in the current devel release 11.04 i just installed.20:03
PendulumTheMuso: maco just found it and yes it was in Natty20:04
TheMusoRight, I was surprised to hear that it was in Maverick, as I didn't have a problem. Ok, thats good to know, I may trawl git for a fix.20:05
TheMuso...but it is natty, and there will be a new orca tarball out in a matter of a couple of weeks at most.20:07
charlie-tcabillg?20:38
macohe's not here right now20:39
charlie-tcaAlanBell: Billg, I believe20:39
macoi copied and pasted from yesterday20:39
* charlie-tca slaps head for not reading everything before muttering20:39
hajourPendulum, not to be annoying but i was wondering or jono was going his site also more accessible23:31
hajourcharlie-tca, ^ mhall119 ^23:32
charlie-tcaI have no idea. My concern is making sure the accessibility wiki gets some updates and that natty is usable23:33
hajourwell i think that the persons who are here have to give a good example for others23:34
hajourif we don't do it why should others then do it23:34
charlie-tcaI agree, but I still can't answer you question23:35
hajourwell i hoped jono was here honest say23:35
hajourto ask him myself23:35
hajouri just was thinking about it23:36
hajouri go look more to the speechcontrol wiki to 23:36
hajouri go do now23:36
