If you are in the Orlando area and aren't already planning on coming to UDS, please consider doing so! You can register online for free [0].

All notes from sessions are taken using the Ubuntu UDS Etherpad deployment and there will be links to the pads announced at the beginning of sessions. Please note if you are attending remotely and are not in the US/Canada that times on the schedule are in local time to UDS (so Eastern Time) and that the US/Canada will still be on Daylight Savings Time, but Europe (and I think the rest of the Northern Hemisphere) will have switched back to standard.

It would also be wonderful if people could reply to the list with other sessions that might have extra relevance to accessibility so that we can try to find at least one person from the team to attend either in person or remotely.

Ubuntu Developer Summit for Precise Pangolin - Accessibility Sessions
Hi All, I'm sorry we haven't had a meeting in a while, I've had some health stuff I've been dealing with. Next week is the Ubuntu Developer Summit in Orlando, Florida.
