RMLL 2015
Rencontres Mondiales du Logiciel Libre (RMLL) / Libre Software Meetings (LSM), Montpellier, France, 5-11 July 2014: website.
In order to reach out to the open-source community (or communities), it would be nice to submit a proposal for a hackathon to an open-source conference such as RMLL or FOSDEM. In such a hackathon, open-source developers would be taught how to integrate their projects into GPII. Ideally, we should find and contact projects with accessibility features and a community that would be willing to work on GPII integration. Add your ideas to the table below. (We can get some ideas from osalt.com and the open source accessibility repository created by the AEGIS project.)
Although this page focuses on RMLL 2014, we could also target other conferences. Some notes:
- Since 2010, RMLL has always had an accessibility track, so all that is required is timely submission of a proposal. RMLL always takes place in a French-speaking part of Europe in July.
- FOSDEM does not usually have an accessibility devroom (let alone a track), so getting in a workshop on GPII would probably require that we propose and organise a devroom ourselves. FOSDEM always takes place in Brussels in early February. Call for main tracks and devrooms are announced on the FOSDEM mailing list. (The call for FOSDEM 2014 was published on 6 August 2013.)
