[WG: Accessibility] Today's Accessibility WG Teleconference Agenda

[Richwine, Brian L]

Hello,

The Sakai Accessibility Working Group meets today, Thursday April 7th, 2011 at 2pm Eastern / 11am Pacific.

The focus of Today's meeting will be more discussion on open Accessibility JIRAs, getting 3rd party accessibility certification of Sakai 2.x, Sakai 2.9 UI Updates, possible issues using Sakai with VoiceOver, and Accessibility Presentations at the Sakai Conference.

If there is time left after that, we will go over any questions on covering Sakai accessibility testing.

Thanks - and Please feel free to attend!
