Mozilla 24 Takes On Accessibility

Have you checked it out? In a prior post, I blogged about Mozilla 24 and all the things you can do to participate. For my part of the conference, I’ve helped plan an hour-and-a-half session about accessibility efforts at Mozilla. Here is the short description:

1. A discussion on new accessibility features in Firefox 3
2. Demos from interesting projects like Access Firefox
3. How a blind developer performs QA and testing for Mozilla
4. A blind contributor shows off Firefox 3’s best features with a screen reader and his own nightly build of Firefox.

In the spirit of 24, the team of presenters is truly international. I will be in Tokyo, helping to organize the conference and emcee-ing the session. One group will present from Mumbai, India. Then, we’ll have 2 contributors from Boston. Our final participant will be dialing in from San Diego at 4:30 AM!!!

I’d love to hear if you’re up-all-night with Mozilla during 24. I will be!

Please check out our accessibility session, it will be very cool.
