Hi All,

Belgium — 


We will be holding an Accessibility DevRoom at fosdem 2011 [0] and are 
requesting abstracts  for structured presentations now.

Important information, dates:

        • Submission deadline for abstracts: 2010-12-31

        • Notification of accepted speakers: 2011-01-10

        • Final schedule: 2011-01-12

**About this DevRoom**

Designing software so that it is accessible to and usable by people with 
disabilities has been a significant theme in software user interface 
development over the last few decades.  Recent national and supra-national 
regulations, laws, and treaties - such as the UN Convention on the Rights of 
People with Disabilities - have only emphasized this work.  There have been 
numerous significant accessibility achievements in Free/Libre and Open Source 
Software.  These include work in accessibility frameworks and user interface 
toolkits, in accessible applications, in developer and authoring tools, and 
in the development and use of assistive technologies by people with 
disabilities.

The focus of this DevRoom is to both demonstrate the breadth and scope of 
accessibility technologies in open source software, and to provide developers 
with the opportunity to collaborate - across desktops and applications and 
assistive technologies.

We invite you to submit talks on these topics:

        • Inclusive design: state of the art
        
        • Specific problems in mobile devices
        
        • Document accessibility
        
        • Assistive Technologies & building blocks for same

        • Accessibility in user interface toolkits (Qt, JavaScript UI 
libraries, …)

        • Accessibility support in developer tools


** Your submission must include:**

        * Your name

        * The title of your talk

        * A short abstract of one to two paragraphs (150 words, max.)

        * A short biography

        * Links to related websites/blogs etc.

* * * Send the abstracts (and ultimately presentations) to:  
accessibility-devroom AT lists.fosdem.org * * *

(For now, it's a moderated list and at this point, mostly a bucket for 
submissions. if there is sufficient interest, all that will change, or we can 
add more lists, if that's needed. )

Presentations are to be formal and not longer than 45 minutes, plus 15 extra 
for questions. Panels with more than one speaker are possible, as are shorter 
presentations of 20 minutes, though the preference is for the longer format. 
Indeed, it's entirely possible that there will be some creative compromises….

The deadline for submissions is 31 December 2010. The proposals will be 
considered by a committee of peers. If your proposal has been accepted, you 
will be informed by email by 10 January 2011.

Please be so kind as to forward this call for abstracts and papers to any and 
all relevant lists, sites, people. We hope to see you at fosdem 2011!
