[SLUG] SLG Meeting

[DAVID KNIGHT]

3rd December, I 'll be there. Sorry for missing the last meeting, just plain forgot.

btw, Puppy linux is currently at version 3.01. I'm currently running it from a USB stick. It also can be run in windows with QEMU-puppy, although only version 2.17 works with this. All 3.xx versions are based on Slackware 12 which should make installing new apps a doddle.

KDE accessibility isn't much cop at the moment, even the developers are admitting 4.0 won't enhance accessibility much. Gnomes Orca project is lightyears ahead I'm afraid at present. I subscribe to both mailing lists, KDEaccessibility might get a couple of posts a week, Orca has around a dozen a day...

Hi
We did have an SLG meeting on Monday 5th, but it was, as we said
 before, a 
social meeting at the Valley, not a learning meeting at the Resource
 Centre, 
which had to be postponed.  It does not seem sane to start the new
 meetings 
in December, so the December meeting (Monday 3rd) will also be at the
 Valley, 
and the first of the learning meetings at the Resource Centre will be
 on the 
first practical Monday in January, the 8th.

David, I have been looking at Puppy Linux, and it looks like a good
 place to 
start.  In particular, the new version 3.05 will handle Slackware
 packages, 
which will in theory make it easy to install kdeaccessibility.  That
 will 
take us up to 3 distros.  

In the Vista vs clay tablets debate, clay tablets were thought to win
 on 
grounds of longevity.



Bob
