Are you referring to the Open Desktop Day? I understand that
accessibility is a big topic for that, and I hope we have a
good showing from our accessibility team.

I will be presenting about documentation there on Monday. I'd be
very happy to meet with accessibility developers when we're not
otherwise busy that day, or even in the evening.

The workshop is not a meeting or a presentation. It's a hands-on,
getting-things-done event. People who attend will write actual
documentation that will actually ship with GNOME, with me and
Milo giving expert guidance.

Thanks,
Shaun
