Willie, check out LWN. You are an awesome coder and we all deeply and sincerely appreciate the work you have done at Sun on Orca. I am sad to hear you are one of the ones who lost their job as a result of the merger. The reason I say check out LWN http://lwn.net is because they have an article today talking about Mozilla donating $10,000 to Gnome for accessibility. Maybe you could even get on at Mozilla? Just a thought, but they seem to care about and have a stake in Orca and accessibility on the Linux desktop.
Kind regards and you are in my prayers! Pia On Fri, 5 Feb 2010, Bill Cox wrote: > I don't need to introduce Willie on this forum. If you don't know him > and some of his work, you're not involved.
