Request to join as initial committer
Hi!
Sorry for this just-under-the-wire request, but I would love to be added
to the list of initial committers if it is not too late.
Most of my strengths are around accessibility:
Volunteer Job:
* Orca project lead (1+ years) and developer (5+ years)
* GNOME Accessibility Project assistant to the lead (1+ year)
Day Job:
* Assistive Technology Specialist, Carroll Center for the Blind (15 years)
Thank you in advance for your consideration! Take care.

Actually the status with IA2 in OOo is quite good - but not in public
CWSes yet - I am quite sure it will find it's way to Apache OOo.

Excellent!
That will be very good news for NDVA user's for example as it will
allow good out-of-the box screen reader access to OOo on Windows

I'm *very* keen to see this happen.
A point of information: IA2 is actually for Windows platforms, even
though is maintained by the Linux Foundation (note IA2 is deliberately
very similar to AT/SPI on Linux).
Orca, which Joanie leads, is GNOME on Linux, so we still need to work
on community development for IA2, as things stand.

Very cool. While IBM contributed its accessibility code to Oracle last
year, Oracle was unable to fully integrate.
We should finish that work if the proposal passes to podling. It looks
like this will be an effort you
would want to consider working on. This is the code that implements the
IA2 APIs that IBM donated to Linux
Foundation in December 2008.[1]

The vote has already started, and was based on revision 207 of the wiki page:
http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/OpenOfficeProposal?action=recall&rev=207
Assuming the proposal gets approved, I'll make sure that the mentors
make adding in the people that have volunteered after the vote started
to be a top priority for the new PPMC.

Yes, please do. And if you care to do so, cast a vote on the proposal itself.

Hey Joanie
It's good to see you hear, I've only just joined.
Are you referring to the Open Office proposal? This is a general list
If so, unlike most Apache incubator projects, where you earn
committership, for the Open Office proposal you can sign up yourself
by just adding to the wiki page [1]. At least that is what I did. I'd
happily nominate you if my vote would count for anything as It would
be excellent to have you on board. We need a wide representation of
those interested in OOo a11y.
You might also like to get a ICLA off as well [2]

Welcome!
Technically, a VOTE is being taken by the Incubator PMC on a proposal which
includes a fixed list of initial committers. The proposal was worked up on
the wiki, but it was frozen when it was included in the email which kicked off
the VOTE thread. I believe that changing any aspect of that proposal now and
would require cancelling the vote and starting a new one.
However, one of the primary tasks of incubation is to expand the community, by
recognizing merit in those who are contributing, nominating them as
committers, conducting a vote, and then extending an invitation. With you
stepping forward, it sounds as though one of the first activities of this
podling may be to figure out how to accept new people. :)
Note that the period of quasi-open-enrollment that happens while a proposal to
enter incubation is under discussion is a special case (and is occasionally
controversial). It will be up to the podling to determine how to deal with
additional volunteers who materialize during this time of limbo, and to
determine what thresholds of contribution spawn committership offers in the
future.
Cheers,
Marvin Humphrey
