Hello all KVR readers,
Yesterday (Wednesday, March 20th, 2024) we had a MASSIG meeting with Juho Tuomainen, the MASSIG Chair, Vanessa Faschi (MASSIG Backup Chair from Audio Modeling), Michael Strickland from Florida State University, Samuel Prouse, a PHD (Doctor of Philosophy) from the University of Sportsmouth United Kingdom (UK), Brian, Paul Janoski, a consultant/software developer and a musician and Jay Pocknell, a Music Support Officer of the Media, Culture and Immersive Technologies Team of RNIB and the founder of Sound Without Sight, present on the meeting. First off, we introduced the way of working in the MASSIG for our new members (Samuel, Paul and Brian) who had their first meeting. Also, we talked more about user stories and especially the importance of the focus order (ie. the order in which the User Interface (UI) elements are focused when a computer keyboard (with or without a screen reader) is used for moving between the User Interface elements), such as between the items of a track panel (ie between different tracks). I am looking forward to hearing more updates from our proggress in our next meeting held in Wednesday, April 3rd, 2024!
Kind regards,
Juho Tuomainen, WG Chair

We also discussed how we could gather user stories using technologies for capturing audio, video and in written (textual) form. Now, we encourage the whole KVR Audio community to send the user stories in those formats (ie either as an audiofile like an .mp3 or an .ogg file or as a text file such as .txt or .docx) to info@midi.org. I am looking forward to meeting the MASSIG people on May 29!
