Hi John. A number of us from the a11y community will be attending the AEGIS Conference in Spain. We're now in the (very early) planning stages of an associated hackfest [1] and are trying to decide if it should extend through 9 October. At least for me, the answer depends on what the plans are for the Boston Summit this year.
Therefore, at the risk of being a noodge, would you happen to have any updates? Thanks in advance! Take care. --joanie [1] http://live.gnome.org/Accessibility/HackfestAEGIS2010 On Wed, 2010-05-19 at 10:25 -0400, John Palmieri wrote: > Hello all, > > I'm going to be starting the process for setting up the Boston Summit. > That basically means getting the space at MIT and then a budget from > the board.
