Rencontres Mondiales du Logiciel Libre (RMLL) / Libre Software Meetings (LSM), Montpellier, France, 5-11 July 2014: website.

In order to reach out to the open-source community (or communities), it would be nice to submit a proposal for a hackathon to an open-source conference such as RMLL or FOSDEM. In such a hackathon, open-source developers would be taught how to integrate their projects into GPII. Ideally, we should find and contact projects with accessibility features and a community that would be willing to work on GPII integration. Add your ideas to the table below. (We can get some ideas from osalt.com and the open source accessibility repository created by the AEGIS project.)

Although this page focuses on RMLL 2014, we could also target other conferences. Some notes:

  • Since 2010, RMLL has always had an accessibility track, so all that is required is timely submission of a proposal. RMLL always takes place in a French-speaking part of Europe in July.
  • FOSDEM does not usually have an accessibility devroom (let alone a track), so getting in a workshop on GPII would probably require that we propose and organise a devroom ourselves. FOSDEM always takes place in Brussels in early February. Call for main tracks and devrooms are announced on the FOSDEM mailing list. (The call for FOSDEM 2014 was published on 6 August 2013.)

Open Source Projects and Their Settings

Open-source projects
Project (with link) Developer(s) to be invited Settings file format and location User group (if AT) and example settings Platform(s)
LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice TBD See LibreOffice user profile.
  • enable the setting "Support assistive technology tools (program restart required)" (see Options > LibreOffice > Accessibility)
  • Set UI scaling (see Options > LibreOffice > View)
  • Set Icon size and scale (see Options > LibreOffice > View)
  • UI language (only in LibreOffice; depends on installed language packs) (see Options > Language Settings > Languages)
 Linux, Windows, Mac OS, ...
NegativeScreen: Windows application with 11 colour inversion schemes TODO: Find out through the contact form. ? The colour inversion scheme. Windows
AMIS (Old site on SourceForge) (DAISY player) Marisa DeMeglio (DAISY Consortium) CSS, XML and INI; on Windows 7: in the folder C:\ProgramData\AMIS\settings (see customisation documentation)
  • Enable "Use self-voicing"

Weboob (Weboob wiki) Romain Bignon? (most active patch submitter listed on the home page) ? TBD (perhaps mostly about launching console apps instead of GUIs for blind persons; see this message to Liberte0). Also need to figure out whether settings are defined on a per-app (or per-module) basis. Linux
Emacspeak T. V. Raman (who else?!) ? TBD (check links on project site and on Wikipedia) Linux

Other Open Source Projects to Investigate

Perhaps also look at the applications included in OpenDisc:
