[05:52] <nealmcb> funny you all should mention the reatek.  That was the first problem I had with the lemur: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/585938
[05:55] <nealmcb> ToyKeeper: so what happened a month ago?  Hungary ftw!
[05:55] <nealmcb> joey - join the party!
[09:41] <ToyKeeper> nealmcb: Oh, what happened is I got hired.
[09:42] <ToyKeeper> I'm not working directly on Ubuntu though; I'm doing infrastructure and support for the ISD team.
[14:48] <nealmcb> ToyKeeper: nice!
[17:36] <nealmcb> Headed out to the Farmer's market, then to Panera.  Hope we have more than 2 for our local Ubuntu Global Jam :)
[17:37] <nealmcb> ...which is at 13:00 today, Panera - 29th st mall in Boulder
[20:21]  * nealmcb looks around for folks at panera....
[20:30] <nealmcb> w0jrl: joining the ubuntu global jam?
[20:31] <w0jrl> nealmcb, yes, I wanted to see what this is all about.
[20:32] <w0jrl> I am in Denver, so this is the only way I can join.
[20:33] <nealmcb> w0jrl: is that Nick?
[20:33] <w0jrl> My name is Jeremy
[20:34] <nealmcb> welcome to the jam.  Did you see the link I posted earlier on how to contribute?
[20:35] <nealmcb> what sorts of things are you interested in?
[20:35] <w0jrl> I have not read it yet. I have been working a few minor bugs with the Orca screen reader.
[20:36] <nealmcb> sweet.  Which bugs?
[20:36] <w0jrl> main sugesting ways to the list to make orca work with natty
[20:39] <w0jrl> at the moment, orca is very unstable in unity. in my testing I couldn't access things like the applications menu or the notification ariea. There are alot of keyboard shortcuts missing.
[20:41] <nealmcb> yum.  I hope that doesn't happen with many apps....  I Haven't tried natty yet.
[20:43] <nealmcb> hopefully that's because screen readers are doing unusual things....
[20:43] <w0jrl> Word to the wise, try it in a VM if you can.
[20:45] <w0jrl> Well, part of the issue is that events that need to be passed to orca aren't geting there.
[20:49] <w0jrl> for example, the new launcher (as I understand it gos down the left side of the screen) is not accessible at all. This is a real bummer for me because I am a blind user, and need items on that bar to be spoken.
[20:52] <nealmcb> Yeah - that sounds like a pretty big issue.  Are there any alternatives to Orca, or is really a Unity problem?
[20:52] <nealmcb> Welcome, Nick!
[20:53] <nealmcb> 3 of us now - w0jrl (Jeremy) also
[20:53] <Guest95671> Thanks finally figured out how to join an IRC, haha.
[20:53] <nealmcb> great
[20:53] <Guest95671> Hi Jeremy
[20:54] <Guest95671> Hello Neil; you can disregard my last email obviously
[20:54] <nealmcb> (Neal)
[20:54] <Guest95671> Oh, sorry Neal
[20:54] <w0jrl> I am also trying to figure out a way to create an all-in-one scanning/ocr solution that is accessible. The default scanning tool in ubuntu is nice, but there is no way to tell what I scanned, or even if I have the sheet placed on the bed correctly.
[20:55] <w0jrl> hello
[20:55] <nealmcb> :)
[20:56] <nealmcb> w0jrl: Sounds like another great place to contribute!
[20:56] <Guest95671> What is a good open source IRC client. I had to 'evaluate mIRC' in windows and want to join with my Ubuntu system next time
[20:57] <w0jrl> If you all use smilies, will you put a text description beside them please? Orca has no idea what they are.
[20:57] <nealmcb> I've used both irssi (for folks that like fast flexible text-oriented stuff) and pidgin
[20:58] <w0jrl> empathy does well with irc.
[20:58] <Guest95671> Oh, I didn't even think of Pidgin....wow.
[20:58] <Guest95671> I just installed Ubuntu again on my new laptop and haven't quite had the time to configure everything
[20:58] <w0jrl> I am using empathy at the moment.
[20:59] <nealmcb> w0jrl: do you mean graphical smilies in something like pidgin, or text smilies like the :) smiley
[20:59] <w0jrl> gui
[21:00] <w0jrl> graphival
[21:01] <Guest95671> You gents going to be here for a bit?
[21:01] <w0jrl> yeah
[21:02] <Guest95671> I need to get my little one to sleep, takes me about an hour.
[21:02] <nealmcb> I may head home soon
[21:02] <w0jrl> I'm guessing there no one at your location neal?
[21:03] <Guest95671> Sorry to not keep your physical company there, Neal
[21:04] <Guest95671> gotta take care of naptime, ha. see you folks in a bit.
[21:04] <nealmcb> Right - just me at Panera.
[21:04] <w0jrl> I wish I could be there as well, but bus travel from Denver can be a pain in the ***.
[21:07] <nealmcb> I can believe that.  And the virtual world can work really well :)
[21:07] <w0jrl> yes
[21:13] <nealmcb> Well, I'm gonna walk home now.  Such a beautiful day.
[21:14] <nealmcb> (in case you missed that...) Well, I'm gonna walk home now.  Such a beautiful day.
[21:14] <w0jrl> ok
[21:15] <w0jrl> If you get bavk on, I'll be here.
[21:15] <nealmcb> Thanks again for joining in and helping out, w0jrl!   Hope to meet you in person some day
[21:15] <nealmcb> Great
[21:15] <w0jrl> I hope to meet you in person as well.
[21:16] <nealmcb> And my irc client is on a proxy at home, so I'll see what is posted while I'm gone
[21:16] <w0jrl> neet! Do you login using ssh?
[22:28] <Guest95671> Hey, sorry. I'm back now
[22:39] <nealmcb> ahhh - just missed them....
