Sun, (les m�mes qui nous "emb�tent" / et sont derri�re le fameux Java), bossent de leur c�t� assez fort sur l'accessibilit�, cf. le CSUN, apparement il existerait d�j� un Java desktop accessible et StarOffice 7 le serait aussi?!

StarOffice 7 provides word >> processing, spreadsheet, and presentation applications, as well as a >> programmable database. StarOffice also provides for interoperability >> with Microsoft Office file formats. Our presentation will detail the >> built-in accessibility features of the word processing, spreadsheet, and >> presentation packages. We will show how StarOffice supports the desktop >> theme, mouseless operation, and assistive technologies on both the GNOME >> desktop with the Solaris Operating Environment and GNU/Linux, and also >> on the Microsoft Windows platform. >> >> Speakers: >> - Peter Korn, Sun Microsystems, Inc. >> - Lynn Monsanto, Sun Microsystems, Inc. >> >> >> 10:40am-11:40am >> Evolution and Mozilla(TM) accessibility: e-mail and the web >> ----------------------------------------------------------- >> In this presentation, we will examine Evolution, an open-source e-mail >> and calendaring "look-alike" of Microsoft Outlook for UNIX and GNU/Linux >> systems; and Mozilla, the open-source web browser behind the popular >> Netscape and a number of other applications. >> >> >> Speaker: >> - Peter Korn, Sun Microsystems, Inc. >> >> >> 2pm-3pm >> GOK - the open source Dynamic On-screen Keyboard >> ------------------------------------------------ >> In this presentation, we will give a detailed demonstration of GOK, >> the open source GNOME on-screen keyboard, with support for single >> switch, scanning, dynamic keyboard functionality, and customizable >> displays.
