[chirp_users] Ubuntu Launcher

[Guy Schlosser]

I hope that one day chirp will work with orca again. I know a lot of that also has to do with the WX toolkit being accessible and presenting the information in a way that orca can speak it. I have faith that one day it will be, and we can all be running current software. Have a good night everyone and 73.
