Hi all, This might have been posted on the list earlier in the summer, but I haven't seen mention of it lately & I wanted to see if there was anyone on the list who is interested in taking part in AIR Austin, Knowbility's 1-day accessible web design competition.
For those who don't know, AIR Austin is where you have from 8 till 5 to create the most accessible, best designed website you can. You & your team is paired with a local nonprofit. You have roughly two weeks to plan and design the site, then a day to build it out. It's a blast. I've competed in three AIR Austin's in the past & am likely doing so again this year. Refresh Austin has participated a few times, even winning 2nd place in 2008. Refesh Austin members have been on many other winning teams, too. (some of the past winners: http://www.knowbility.org/air-austin/?content=winners_history ) AIR's a wonderful experience and a great way to find out where you are on the skills ladder - not just design / development, but teamwork, client relations, leadership skills, decision making, etc. I'm reaching out to this list as well as the Austin WordPress Meetup to encourage our community to get involved and to take part with this event. More information can be found at http://www.knowbility.org/air-austin/ Anyone interested is welcome to email me with questions. As a past participant and as a member of the advisory board for AIR I should be able to answer your questions. If I can't, I'll connect you with Teenya Franklin at Knowbility. Cheers!
