---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Candice McFarland <[email protected]> Date: Tue, Aug 28, 2012 at 10:01 AM Subject: [Austin UXPA] September UXPA Meeting: Accessibility 101 (Plus, how you can get involved) To: [email protected] We are so excited to announce our September speaker, Ella Jane Moore of Knowbility. Accessibility is fast becoming a hot topic in the development world: With a Justice Department ruling that websites fall under the regulations of the Americans with Disabilities Act, many organizations are scrambling to remediate their websites. Join us to learn the basics of accessibility – why it matters, how it improves usability, when in the development process it should be considered, and basic considerations and techniques. We’ll also discuss Open AIR (Accessible Internet Rally), a fantastic opportunity to learn the ins and outs of accessibility while making an impact on your community.****** ** ** Ella Jane Moore is the Community Programs Manager at Knowbility, an Austin-based 501(c)(3). She got her start in the nonprofit world making summer camps accessible to kids with special needs, and has graduated to doing the same for the Internet. *Where:* Opal Divine's Downtown *700 W 6th St*<http://bing.com/maps/default.aspx?v=2&pc=FACEBK&mid=8100&where1=700+W+6th+St%2C+Austin%2C+TX+78701&FORM=FBKPL0&name=Opal+Divine%27s&mkt=en-US> *Austin, TX 78701*<http://bing.com/maps/default.aspx?v=2&pc=FACEBK&mid=8100&where1=700+W+6th+St%2C+Austin%2C+TX+78701&FORM=FBKPL0&name=Opal+Divine%27s&mkt=en-US> *http://www.opaldivines.com/* <http://www.opaldivines.com/> *When:* Tuesday, Sept. 4 Networking/Hanging Out: 6:30-7 p.m. Presentation: 7-8 p.m. Please RSVP here: http://www.facebook.com/#!/events/375637972505282/**** -- -- www.AustinUPA.org [email protected] Find us on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/AustinUPA You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Austin UXPA" group.
