Another great initiative from Knowbility, this global event matches
developers who are still honing their accessibility craft with non-profits
that need new accessible web sites. There is training and mentorship
available to the teams that do the actual development work, and then a
"judging" and "awards" at the end (for fun and bragging rights mostly) -
everyone who is involved is a winner in some fashion or other! :-)

Lori, I think you might be able to sign up for that if you are interested.
