My pro meeting audio tip for #GNOME users: map an unused top-right corner keyboard key as global shortcut for (un)muting the microphone, then paper-sticker-label it.
Now no need to have the meeting browser tab focused (or to remember each conferencing app's shortcuts) to toggle your microphone input.
The recording indicator in the top-right of your screen in GNOME reflects that change, although a bit too subtly. Up for grabs for newcomers: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-s…

Below, I added some hype music to mastodon.social/@alatiera/1147…
With that, I believe we could get a huge GNOME fundraiser drive going, by selling tickets to a philanthropic wrestling match between @alatiera and probonopd. Per tradition, the match could take place in an abandoned warehouse in San Francisco, kitted up as for a rave. KDE devs welcome.
I bet Jordan would smack Xorg down so hard that xeyes pops out, and we would never hear from X11 again as Wayland reigns supreme.
I went through and cleared out a load of unnecessary subscriptions, and put some of that to become a Friend of GNOME. It’s important to me to support my favourite thoughtful, usable open-source desktop environment (and who knows, perhaps one day my favourite phone environment too)

Continuing our volunteer effort to make GNOME Calendar fully accessible with a keyboard (see thread for context), we fixed a major bug that was causing the focus to disappear into the abyss when the user tried to tab into the month view in merge request !576. This means, as of this commit, events should now be completely functional and accessible within the month view. Additionally, the merge request changes the keyboard and focus behavior within the month view: Events can only be cycled using arrow buttons, the focus can't escape the month view with arrow buttons, and entering/exiting the month view can only be done with tab. These improvements will be available on GNOME 49.
#GNOME #Accessibility #a11y #GNOMECalendar #Calendar #FOSS #FreeSoftware #Linux
Happy Disability Pride Month everybody :)
During the past few weeks, there's been an overwhelming amount of progress with accessibility on GNOME Calendar:
• Events in the agenda view will convey to screen readers of their respective titles and descriptions.
Accessibility on Calendar has progressed to the point where I believe it's safe to say that, as of GNOME 49, Calendar will be usable exclusively with a keyboard, without significant usability friction!
There's still a lot of work to be done in regards to screen readers, for example conveying time appropriately and event descriptions. But really, just 6 months ago, we went from having absolutely no idea where to even begin with accessibility in Calendar — which has been an ongoing issue for literally a decade — to having something workable exclusively with a keyboard and screen reader! :3
Huge thanks to @nekohayo for coordinating the accessibility initiative, especially with keeping the accessibility meta issue updated; Georges Stavracas for single-handedly maintaining GNOME Calendar and reviewing all my merge requests; and @tyrylu for sharing feedback in regards to usability.
All my work so far has been unpaid and voluntary; hundreds of hours were put into developing and testing all the accessibility-related merge requests. I would really appreciate if you could spare a little bit of money to support my work, thank you 🩷

Ninguna donación es pequeña. Con esta nueva web queremos conseguir tener donaciones recurrentes a lo largo del año para poder mantener nuestra infraestructura.
it's been a very difficult year or two for @gnome and, to continue to exist, the foundation really needs you.
however, we first want to ask you to *donate less*:

Considering how GNOME Color Manager's support for calibrating scanners (and printers?) has been broken for many years, and how it seems like the remaining code might get ripped out entirely from GNOME Control Center as a result, I have filed a new #GNOME app idea, in the wild hope that someone might find this interesting enough to create a standalone utility app for creating ICC color profiles for your photo scanners and printers: gitlab.gnome.org/bertob/app-id…
