Ian Lloyd invited input from us here in Austin about our activities, initiatives and accessibility challenges. So, of course, we start with the blow-out we just had at SXSW Interactive. Not only were there 5 panels specifically about accessibility, even those not specific to the topic gave a nod of recognition to the fact that accessibility was a need to be reckoned with. Wendy Chisholm was at the conference for the first time and was pleased to see the issue so prominently featured in a mainstream forum. Plenty of great discussion. I’m still processing and will post follow-up after I get some sleep…maybe next week, since the music part of the fest continues.
