MuseScore at FOSDEM 2020
MuseScore is going to rock FOSDEM 2020!
FOSDEM is the largest conference dedicated to OpenSource in Europe (in the world?) held February 1 and 2 in Brussels. MuseScore editor team will be there (2 devs, me and Martin Keary)!
We have a table to present MuseScore to FOSDEM visitors on Saturday, February 1st.
We welcome everyone to discuss the hottest topics and design/development plans together. Four years in a row, we will organise a traditional Saturday dinner to gather everyone together :)
If you'd like to meet us, including a dinner on Saturday evening, please leave a comment on this post.

I’ll be there as well. Probably not for dinner, as I’m most likely with another group, but definitely during the days. Will be nice to get some passion chocolate and meet you people in real life again.
I'll be there, looking forward to it!
Count me in!
Have fun! Again, can we have video chat when you're all there? Like Skype. I'll be very excited if we could talk "face to face"!

Did you already settle on a location for dinner ? If not yet final, I quite liked last year's location, as it enabled me to travel by train. Any location within walking distance of a train station would be ideal for me. I would like to stay at least until after breakfast on Sunday.

Unfortunately I will not be able to attend tomorrow, as I am not feeling well and am unfit to travel. Hope to see you all next time.
Have a nice dinner, wishing you a lot of fun, Leon.

Sorry you’re not feeling well, Leon, and I’m disappointed to miss the chance to see you again. Get well soon!

Same here, unfortunately. Nothing serious, just clogged sinuses and scratchy throat, but better safe than sorry. Enjoy FOSDEM!

Get well too.
I had the same disease a few weeks ago.
See the doctor if the disease lasts long, he can give a short-term antibiotic drug treatment.

Nah, it’s probably viral, so antibiotics won’t help anyway. I’ve got Sinupret, and if it inflames, Bromelain.

Sorry to have missed you!
I'll be there! Possibly giving a talk the Sunday with @MarcSabatella about accessibility in MuseScore.
Also, I plan to stay a few extra days in Europe to visit another city - maybe Amsterdam. Let me know if anyone wants to tag along!

Our presentation has been confirmed: Accessibility in MuseScore: Our experience with Qt and QML
It's from 12:00 - 12:20 on the Sunday in the Open Source Design devroom.
I'll be there on Saturday + dinner.
I'm considering coming this year - I would love to if the time allows for it :)
I would love to participate however I have no conditions due to distance, I live in Brazil.
Would you like to know how you have this beautiful blouse with the musescore logo?
Could I have one?
Hug to all and much success in the event.

Hope your presentation was successful, streamed and will be available some time later on fosdem.org (for my excuse: I enjoyed the same time a children's performance of Stravinsky's "Petrushka" to follow the live stream).
Above hope you enjoyed the time, and we'll get again an shared insight about the time of your dinner ;-).

Thanks for the link. Seems the topic has aroused interest of the listeners. Wonder if there's a way to contribute Marc's pull request (labeled as "work in progress") for a merge: https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/pull/5655 (see also: #299387: Support screenreaders other than NVDA and #300287: Missing items Orca screenreader doesn't read in the inspector).

Putting together a special accessibility build that includes these and a couple of other pending PR's is on the list of things to look at after 3.4.2 is finally out. I've actually created a separate for that purpose, combining everything I think makes sense: https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/pull/5656

@shoogle, I just watched the presentation given by you and Marc at FOSDEM. Really excellent: it's highly informative, well recorded - and an absolute model of how to put a lot across in a short timeframe!

@DanielR, thanks very much! I'm very pleased with how it turned out. It was definitely an improvement on my previous presentations - and it was great to have @Marc with me this time! Hopefully it will help other developers implement accessibility in their own software.

@DanielR thanks! and thanks to Peter for organizing this and inviting me to participate! Funny, when I watch myself in this, the aspect you kindly describe as "how to put a lot across in a short timeframe!" comes off as "how to talk really fast" :-). But yeah, I feel good about how much we were able to say on a variety of topics.
In reply to @DanielR thanks! and thanks… by Marc Sabatella
Marc,
"how to put a lot across in a short timeframe!" v. "how to talk really fast"
I think you're under-estimating yourselves: your joint talk just came across as professional and disciplined. No waffle, no straying from the subject, aware that you're in a 30-minute time slot - but determined to get the content across. I really enjoyed it, only sorry that I wasn't at FOSDEM to meet you in person.
And BTW I have a peripheral interest in the whole accessibility project: my partner was employed for a couple of years by the charity VISION 2020, working out of the RNIB's HQ building in London.
