ÆGIS (Open Accessibility Everywhere: Groundwork, Infrastructure, Standards) is organising a satellite event in the context of ETAPS 2010 (European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software - March 20-28, 2010, Paphos, Cyprus). The satellite event FOSS‐AMA (Free and Open Source Software for Accessible Mainstream Applications) will take place on 27-28 March 2010 and is inspired by the FP7 ÆGIS IP initiative (http://www.aegis‐project.eu).
FOSS-AMA will aim to bring together recent achievements and renowned experts from the Open Source Community and Accessibility. 3rd generation access techniques and their potential for more accessible mainstream ICT for end-users and relevant toolkits for developers will be explored. Interactive demos will embellish the presentations sessions.
The event is spread over 2 days, will be chaired by Karel Van Isacker (Marie Curie Association) and will have the following outline.
