I plan on continuing to contribute to Ubuntu in both accessibility and other areas and to attend the UDS at Mountain View in November.

I'm writing this wiki page to apply for Ubuntu membership.

My launchpad profile is located at https://launchpad.net/people/tortoise

I've been working with the accessibility team over the summer. My involvement started with the onboard project. Onboard was a summer of code project for Ubuntu, the goal of which was to write a simple On-Screen-Keyboard that could replace GOK for most of it's use cases but still be relied on to work out of the box without configuration as much as possible.

Post SoC I have submitted various patches:

Adding a quit button to orca http://librarian.launchpad.net/4197494/quitbutton.dpatch

Changed gnome-at-properties dialog to suit orca better, allow launching at apps from dialog and have dialog default to onboard and fall back on GOK. http://librarian.launchpad.net/4201085/34_at_properties_onboard_and_new_interface.patch

Ubiquity orca script [attachment:ubiquity.py]

I plan on continuing to contribute to Ubuntu in both accessibility and other areas and to attend the UDS at Mountain View in November.
