Reviving the Accessibility Team - meeting?

[Penelope Stowe]

Hiya,

I've been looking around on what there is for the Accessibility Team
on the wiki and reading e-mails, along with chatting with Luke on IRC
(in #ubuntu-accessibility) and it strikes me that we need to create a
solid Accessibility Team in the community. Not only will doing so help
future new-users (or existing users who develop a disability), but a
cohesive team means a stronger voice in the Ubuntu community as a
whole.

I'd like to propose having a meeting sometime the week of April 11-17
in #ubuntu-accessibility on freenode on IRC to come up with some
foundation for getting the Accessibility Team going. If there are
issues with doing a meeting on IRC not being accessible, feel free to
suggest other places for the meeting. If you're interested in having a
meeting, please send the list or me an e-mail with the days/times that
week you're available and I'll try to find a time that works for the
most people.

I think in this meeting we should discuss putting together a blueprint
for things we want to and think we can get done during the Lucid+1
cycle. I also think it might be nice to start to look at a roadmap and
goals for the team in a long term.

I'm going to send a separate e-mail to the list (not tonight, but
later this week) with some of my ideas for things we could do and I
hope other people will think about it as well so we can get some
discussion going!

Thanks!
Penelope
