Preview of GNOME usability results

I have been mentoring Sanskriti Dawle as part of the GNOME Outreach Program for Women. Sanskriti has been working on a usability test of GNOME, an update from my own usability testing which I also shared at GUADEC 2014.
I encourage you to watch Sanskriti's blog for the final results, but I wanted to share a view into her excellent work. You might treat this as a preview of Sanskriti's results.
Sanskriti's usability test included about equal men and women, and about equally divided between "high" and "low" mobile OS exposure (but none at "moderate," which is interesting). Most were Windows OS users, and the testers were equally distributed in expertise. Her test participants had a good distribution in age groups.

| Red Hat Hires a Blind Software Engineer to Improve Accessibility on Linux Desktop
Accessibility on a Linux desktop is not one of the strongest points to highlight. However, GNOME, one of the best desktop environments, has managed to do better comparatively (I think).
In a blog post by Christian Fredrik Schaller (Director for Desktop/Graphics, Red Hat), he mentions that they are making serious efforts to improve accessibility.
Starting with Red Hat hiring Lukas Tyrychtr, who is a blind software engineer to lead the effort in improving Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and Fedora Workstation in terms of accessibility.
