LSM/RMLL 2017 17th Libre Software Meeting July 1-7, 2017 Saint-Etienne, France http://2017.rmll.info/ Call For Papers and Participation limited to accessibility topic [we apologize for duplicate receipt of this message] Last call before deadline : march *31st* 2017
Sharing of knowledge, freedom of information, community spirit, exchange of ideas, technological progress: every year the Libre Software Meeting (LSM) follows the Libre philosophy. RMLL/LSM is a non-commercial series of conferences, round tables discussions and practical workshops based on Libre/Free Software and its uses. Its aim is to provide a platform for Libre/Free Software users, developers and stakeholders. Access to LSM is free of charge and open to everyone. The conference will be held in Beauvais from July 1st to July 7, 2017. We hereby announce the opportunity to submit papers for selection by the technical review committee for the RMLL/LSM 2017. This year again we would like to put a particular emphasis on accessibility on the whole RMLL/LSM event. We will have our usual workshop, as described below, but we would like to have accessibility talks held in other sessions too, if possible all of them, as was achieved in 2010 in Bordeaux. We thus invite you to submit your accessibility talks to various topics, so as to broaden the audience of accessibility questions. Concerning our dedicated accessibility workshop, to better target the various exchanges that will be taking place, the programme committee of the accessibility workshop proposes several kinds of meetings: - "Solution" meetings, with conferences and round tables to present solutions dedicated to previous areas. - "State of the art" conferences between practitioners, developers, scientists and users to discuss about what exists according to the specific needs of users, what works well or a little less well, to talk about approaches... - "Technical" presentations between developers and scientists. This will allow initiation of exchanges between communities that do not necessarily have the opportunity to meet and will maybe lead to new collaborations or projects. Finally, a workshop area will be available to try out and exchange tools presented by their authors or by seasoned users of those solutions. Information on workshops from last event is available on - https://2015.rmll.info/accessibilite Information on the previous global RMLL/LSM emphasis on accessibility in 2010 is available on - http://2010.rmll.info/+-Accessibilite,2-+.html You will be able to attend conferences on other related issues such as "System Administration" (like Nagios, GLPI, Cfengine, ...), "Development" (like NoSQL, Lucene, GCC, ...), "Law" (like Licenses,OpenData, FSF, ...), "Internet" (WebGL, Jabber, Typo3, ...), ...
