Hello Bryen,

Hi,  I'm one of those "interested newbies" who has been lurking for the
past few weeks.  One of the things I love about participating in the
FOSS world is the ability to create barrier-less meetings by going
online.  Not only by being able to read everything, but also by the use
of meetbots that automatically record transcripts and minutes.    I
recognize however that many people do prefer the convenience of
telephone conferences.

As I am hearing-impaired, I would like to ask what do you intend to
provide as a workaround for those of us who are unable to cross this
barrier and be fully participatory?

thanks for your message and your interest!

What we do already is two things:

First, we have a meeting room at the IRC chat in parallel to the phone conference. Mainly, for sending out links and text snippets, but of course, it can also be used for aiding hear impaired people, i.e. for summarizing discussion and acting as a "gateway".

Second, we keep MP3 records and minutes of all calls, so they can be listened to afterwards.

However, honestly spoken, I have not much experience in the needs for hearing impaired, so any advice you can give is highly welcome! What could we do for you to make attending the calls easier? Is there any help we can provide?

Would be an honour to have you on the call!

Florian
