Editing last years recordings

derek riemer
 

We discussed during our meeting that sessions from last year need qa checked and uploaded.
The following spreadsheet has the names of each file. Anyone interested in helping us qa check these, please put your name in the " QA Checker's name" column for that file, and download it from the following drive folder.

Cheers,
Derek

Security reset of all resources

derek riemer
 

Hello all:
After several weeks of patiently asking people not to post on our NVDACon official channels without first doing diligence to ensure posts are professional, I have decided to change all security credentials on nvdacon accounts to stop the members who are repeat offenders of our do-diligence policy from damaging the conference's reputation. We are no longer a small organization, we're regularly promoting this conference to professional groups, and our social media image must be a reflection of this reality. Furthermore, until people can gain trust that their posts are quality and that they will not be posting half-baked messages that have clear grammar and spelling issues, and until such time as those people properly verify that their messages are so by having someone else look at them if they struggle with grammar and spelling, people will have to submit their posts to a small trusted group of nvdacon members who can update the site, update the posts on social media, etc. This small group of people will grant access as needed and once trust is established. As well, anyone who shares credentials for our organizations without notifying our leads will have this trust revoked. I will contact you if I have enough trust as chair to allow you to safeguard credentials and post, and will ask if you are willing to do so.
Cheers,
Derek

Reorganizing the committee

derek riemer
 

Hello all:
After nearly a year of disorganization, I am trying to get this committee back into shape for properly planning a conference.
We currently have a form on the NVDACon page, https://www.nvdacon.org/how-to-help-us which I would like everyone to fill out if you are actually interested in helping NVDACon. Gauging based on the number of subscribers to this list, there are at least ten members who are simply on this list to watch. That is fine, but going forward, unless someones name is on the spreadsheet created by this form, I won't be granting access to Google Drive, or other shared resources. Also, only members who are officially resourced have voting power. Additionally, having resources listed makes it easier for the leads to properly utilize the available talent on the list and give order to the committee, so that the actions we take are strategic.
Please fill this form out before our next NVDACon meeting on Nov 7, so I can get a feel for who wants to be included in further NVDACon planning efforts in official capacity and can ensure account access is properly set up to google drive and other such resources.

Re: how to edit the website

jenna deupree
 

I believe I answered her statements and offerred her a excellent
contact. I was of course unaware of the volunteer form on the
website at the time or would have ask her to fill it out. at the
time. however, regardless of a person's ability to spell, speak, or
any other difficulty they may have something can always be found for
them that they are capable of doing . even if its simply
brainstorming and letting others know of ideas. No, not every idea is
a good one not even mine but to constructively critisize someone is
far better than to simply toss them out the door.

Actually, the notes were correct. It looked as if the first topic was incorrect due to the wording, but I just read it wrong. Nice meeting everyone.

    • Description: We should have a promo similar to the intro music we previously had at 10th aniversary. Happy to record, might be willing to edit if someone else on technical won't. However, I need help finding good background music, background music must be able to be purchhased for use with derivative works. Happy to fund it if its not outrageous.
    • sub-committee: technical
    • Notes:
      • Seann has music, will donate, and he will offer to help with editing, has editing experience
    • Topic: backup plan if nobody submits
    • Description: This is the first year nobody has submitted a topic. If nobody submits a topic, discuss next steps. next steps include: * Organizing sessions of our own. Seems like we're holding on to a futile effort if this happens. * cancel the conference. If nobody submits a topic by Nov 15, the community has decided they don't care about NVDACon anymore. * Simply hold a forum and keynote. Seems like community interest is less.
    • sub-committee: all
    • Notes:
      • Laura: Continue promoting, can be pushier if needed, can push hard if needed.
      • Sean: Better to cancel this year, and begin earlier next year if needed
      • Chris: Record a keynote, and send that out to individuals, release as a podcast
      • Doug: Knows a person who does podcasts on tech, can see if they are interested in presenting
      • Every conference has an end date, if community doesn't express interest for whatever reason, it's okay, we haven't failed.
      • Nimer is for possible podcast keynote, but not on board with continuing a con if no topics presented
      • Derek may not be leader of Con if con is delayed more than 6 months due to other committments
      • 5 external topics, if we don't get that number, we move forward with back-up plan of cancelling con

    • sub-committee: all

      • Move meeting to 22:00 UTC, consensus amongst committee members
    • Topic: getting the word out more about this years up coming con.

    • Description: Do we have a process in place for on-boarding new volunteers and assigning them to committees? Are committees meeting to get progress on action items outside of bi-weekly meetings? Is there a list some place that promotions committee is using to know where to advertise, and what to advertise? Lists of mailing lists, etc. Using call to topics and general letter as a spring-board for announcements to various groups/podcast and content creators. Do we have leadership/list of members for scheduling committee? If not, we should think about assigning such. Finally, should we consider pushing back con? There has been some discussion on Teams whether things are happening too fast, and some are feeling overwhelmed. Or do we feel comfortable with our present date? What work would be involved in moving con if we choose to do that? Updating call to topics letter, providing updates through email lists/social channels.
    • sub-committee: All committees, seems like a pointless question for bi-weekly meets
    • Notes:
      • Derek will organize on-boarding, and communicate new members to volunteers
      • Derek will remove people not interested in helping from the mailing list
      • No point to organizing committee without topics
      • Elana will take on leadership of scheduling

fix a dictation mistake or two, I'm worried how we are represented by someone who, with actual will and forethought, undertakes publicly to jeer at a newcomer in such fashion. Enough said I'm sure.

My signature quotes are drawn from a small pool at random; I admit I am most amused by the chance selection for this message.

representing a conference with writing like that, unless that task does
not require writing of any kind. If you feel I'm being harsh, please
write to me privately, but I'm just saying it how it is, as I am not a
leader of con, and can probably get away with saying it. I don't know
how Derek feels, but I suspect that, as a leader, if he did feel this
way, he probably would not post what I am posting here.
Thanks.

I welcome you and thank you. we should have some demonstrations of
the addons and things concerning nvda. if you have any questions
before hand about the install of the product or anything else you will
be needing it for please let me know. I am also both a jaws and a
nvda user. There are somethings I would not like using jaws with and
others I can't use nvda with but between the two of them I am able to
do almost anything I set my mind to.
