Hi,

This will be a one-time forward, because the following teleconference
is biweekly starting tomorrow. Sakai is an online course management
system used and developed by quite a few universities around the world.
The Accessibility Working Group is devoted to making Sakai a more
accessible learning management system; however, it would be nice to
have more testers. The teleconference would give you a chance to see
what is being done so far and how you could help. If you are
interested, please consider attending tomorrow's teleconference.

Also, the teleconference is chance for developers to understand
accessibility issues related to Sakai.

Thanks,

Mary


Hello,

The first meeting of the Sakai Accessibility Working Group for the new
year meets Thursday January 13th, 2011 at 2pm Eastern / 11am Pacific.
We will be having bi-weekly meetings from here out.

The focus of Thursday's meeting will be the Sakai 2.8 Accessibility
Review (status, results, issues). If you are working on accessibility
JIRA's and have questions, this meeting will be a good chance to get
them answered. There is a good chance the person who carried out a
given tool's review and reported an issue will be present on the call.
We will have at least one native screen-reader user on the call as well.

We are now using the Sakai001_Scheduled teleconference number. The
connect information is:

* Dial (812) 856-7060

* Enter Conference Number: 22348#

* Conference PIN: 72524#

Please feel free to attend!
