(I don't know if my subscription to the gnome-a11y list is already
active.)

I'm one of the AEGIS folks and if the third slot is still free I would
like to propose a talk on the OpenOffice.org work we've been doing:
odt2daisy, odt2braille and an accessibility checker for ODT (work on this
last item started recently). I know it's rather un-GNOME, but if you are
interested in including it in the track, please let me know to whom I
should send an abstract.

Best regards

Christophe
