hi<br>
</span> I've created a #fedora-accessibility channel and am currently idling<br>
in there. I also regularly appear in both #fedora-users and<br>
#fedora-docs. My accessibility feedback is mostly about gnome, but<br>
there is one bug in the anaconda installer, on the installation<br>
destination screen. I've also created a FAS account, but never got the<br>
email with my initial password, so cannot log in to do anything yet.<br>
Fedora is a nice change. I started with vinux, an ubuntu dirivitive<br>
especially for the blind. Then went to arch, then manjaro, now fedora.<br>
I have a very bad tendency to rant, especially when I don't feel<br>
accessibility is given the attention it deserves, but it takes a lot<br>
to get me there. I openly dispise microsoft windows, and proprietary<br>
firmware. I live with the latter because it's necessary to get some<br>
stuff working, but I hope it eventually goes away. About the irc<br>
channel, I thought a copy of the fedora bot that the users channel<br>
uses would be nice, so we can point people at google searches, new<br>
releases will be announced, things like that. I'm still learning my<br>
way around fedora's packaging system but I'm already very impressed.<br>
Especially with the integration with gnome shell. Gnome software is<br>
brilliant.<br>
Thanks<br>
Kendell clark<br>
