Developing with Accessibility event at the FCC

[Mustafa Naseem <mustafanaseem gmail com>]

Hi,
 
The Accessibility and Innovations Initiative at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is organizing a two-day event in September called 'Developing with Accessibility' (DevAcc). The event aims to spur collaboration on accessibility among developers from industry, consumer, and government sectors. The event will encourage the use of accessibility APIs (application programming interfaces), as well as publicly available data sets, in order to build accessible apps for mobile phones and websites.  A key objective is to promote the concept and practice of developing applications with regard for generally-accepted accessibility guidelines, thereby maximizing their usability for everyone, including people with disabilities.

 

More details about the event (including registration details) can be found at: http://www.fcc.gov/events/developing-accessibility. Please feel free to pass this message to colleagues/mailing lists that may be interested in such an event. 

 

Thanks,

Mustafa
