I sent this to Karen, and I would like to get a wider feedback on this course of action.
When dealing with the press there is always a bit of a risk especially if you're trying to manipulate them :) sri ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Sriram Ramkrishna <s...@ramkrishna.me> Date: Fri, Feb 17, 2012 at 1:49 PM Subject: Idea on linux.com article on a11y To: Karen Sandler <ka...@gnome.org> Cc: Juanjo Marín <juanjomari...@yahoo.es> I was talking with Juanjo today and came up with an idea. I'm wondering if this is something you would support: Create a rebuttal article to the Linux.com article which bemoans the lack of good a11y. By stating in fact that we are in fact have great a11y support thanks to the efforts of the GNOME foundation and contributors. We can either make it another Linux.com article or we could generate our own news.gnome.org or something. The idea is to create a conversation of viewpoints. But more importantly, to try to attract third party media who love these kind of controversies. We get several benefits, linux.com's gets a higher media exposure and as well we do. We would hopefully create an effect of having media focus on a11y technologies in Linux or maybe in general. Basically, create a meme with some media manipulation. What do you think? sri
