this and that

** Sebastian, one of the blind participants of the Accessibility-Meets-Usability weekend, just told me that the development of Gnopernicus, a screen reader and magnifier for Gnome, has been stopped. I hope these are just rumours? It would be a pity. Instead, the development of Orca will be reinforced which is actually good news (thanks henrik for the clarification!).

** Aaron pointed me to this article about usability in Linux projects on tomshardware.com. It's great to read our work is getting such positive attention =)

** Together with Bjoern from OpenUsability I'll attend the tOSSad Workshop in Como on Saturday, a workshop on Governmental, Educational, Usability, and Legal Issues towards Open Source Software Adoption in an enlarged Europe. I'm looking forward to meet Gorkem there who is very active translating KDE and works on the Turkish Linux distribution Pardus.
