GNOME Accessibility BOF at LinuxWorld 2001 on August 28th - Invitation to Participate!

[Bill Haneman <bill haneman sun com>]

Hi Folks:

I would like to invite all members of this list to a
Birds-of-a-Feather
discussion at LinuxWorld SFO next week, on Tuesday evening.  Certainly
I
hope that all of you who will be at LinuxWorld will be able to
attend.  It
should be an excellent opportunity to meet face-to-face and discuss 
progress to date on Gnome Accessibility and the upcoming roadmap, as
well
as an opportunity to make suggestions and raise any questions and
concerns.

The following message from Anne Tirsell details on the BOF.

I hope to see many of you there!

-Bill

At the upcoming LinuxWorld Expo in San Francisco, Sun Microsystems
will be 
hosting an important Birds of a Feather discussion on the new 
Accessibility Framework for the GNOME desktop. Your participation will
help make accessibility an integral solution in the workplace for
users with 
disabilities. 

Join us to discuss and learn about:

        - why it's important to build accessibility support in your
applications
        - how to quickly add accessibility support to your
applications using 
                the Accessibility Toolkit
        - how to use the Assistive Technology Service Provider
Interface to 
                integrate assistive technology products such as screen
readers, 
                screen magnifiers, and alternative pointing devices
                
Our resident experts will be on hand to lead the discussion and answer
your 
questions 
on how to design and build accessible software solutions that benefit
all users, 
not just those with disabilities.
