No, next week we will resume the normal schedule. In light of last minute
scheduling conflicts and the recent death of a student (a vigil for whom is
being held at 8:00 tonight), we opted to take this week off.

Hi LUG,
We'll be having one of our hack days tomorrow, Saturday the 19th in Mann 301 from 12-8pm. We do a couple of these each semester and it's an informal/unstructured time to hang out, work on an open source project, or just show off what you've been up to. Also card games and snacks.
Power strips and snacks are always welcome but you don't have to bring anything to attend.
For more information, you can get on IRC (freenode/#ncsulug), email, or call/text me.
Thanks,
Ian Kilgore

Hi everyone,
This week's LUG meeting will be a technical talk about systemd with Matthew Frazier (leafstorm). He's nice and good and you'll like the talk a lot!
EB2-3001 is the conference room in the bridge between the east and west wings of EB2 (on the third floor).
Thanks,
Ian

Subject: Making Clickable web elements Keyboard Accessible.
Message-ID: <CAO2sX30fzQiWRC6x35ZQvYJ=7pEnrGVFX8kExBohcrW9gxcCqQ@mail.gmail.[redacted]>
Good morning,
I use Iceweasel/Firefox in combination with the Orca screenreader for
browsing the Internet, and there's one bit of bad web design that
keeps rearing its ugly head: Buttons and other web controls that orca
identifies as being clickable. I can't use a mouse, they get skipped
over when tabbing between links and form elements, and the enter and
space keys do nothing if I manually position the cursor on them.
Google would indicate that this is a fairly well known problem in the
area of web accessibility, but every fix I've found via Google has
been targeted at web designers who want the greater visual flexibility
such elements allow without rendering their pages unusable to screen
reader users. I've been unable to find anything that assists with
making these elements accessible on the end-user side of things.
Anyone have any suggestions for possible solutions?incerely,
Jeffery Wright

Hi Jeffery,
Can you possibly link me to a webpage exhibiting this behavior? I haven't
found anything existing that fits your needs but I have an idea for an easy
implementation.

Subject: Introductory LaTeX workshop
Message-ID: <CAJeX9NpkU=CBgn8tKXMTO9nJmyOKJPunmR+UM0Xi5ig1-8vpDA@mail.gmail.[redacted]>
Hi everyone,
I'm doing a small introductory LaTeX workshop this Friday afternoon at 3. I
plan it for 1 hour of introduction to text document preparation followed by
presentation slides preparation. I will be available also the following
hour for a discussion and more deep questions.
In case you don't know what LaTeX is, this is a great occasion to learn
about it. I use LaTeX for most of my documents including reports, slides
and posters. In the workshop, we will focus on the simple things but it is
worth mentioning that the advantages also include managing the LaTeX files
with version control and generating LaTeX files as a simple text output of
your program and building nice reports this way.
I would appreciate if you let me know that you are coming, but feel free to
just show up.

Date and Time:

optional 1 hour discussion
Location:
Jordan Hall (Main Campus, almost on Western Blvd)
Room 5103 (the class room on the fifth floor, of the 'old' Jordan Hall, not

software. We will use http://overleaf.com/.
