Stormy,

Thanks very much for coming out to pre-SIGCSE HFOSS symposium.  I know that the faculty there very much appreciated hearing from and talking to the industry folks, and I hope you saw some benefit in talking to and hearing from us.

As I mentioned during one of the breaks, I'd be very interested in exploring how we might make contributing to the GNOME Accessibility project the central focus of our software design course (at least for this next year).  The course isn't scheduled until Spring 2010, so there's a bit of time.  The time is probably both a benefit, since we'll have time to work things out, and a hindrance, since I don't yet have course goals specified and I'm guessing that the GNOME Accessibility project evolves rather quickly.

Anyway, if there are people you can recommend that I talk to, I'm happy to start a conversation on possible ways in which I and my students can contribute.

Thanks!
