Several of the ACCESSIBLE partners also participate in ÆGIS (Open Accessibility Everywhere: Groundwork, Infrastructure, Accessibility Everywhere: Groundwork, Infrastructure, Standards - http://www.aegis-project.eu) project, supported with the financial contribution of the European Commission. The first ÆGIS pan-European User Forum and Workshop are being organized on the 4th and 5th June 2009 respectively at Research In Motion UK Ltd, Slough, Berkshire, United Kingdom. During the User Forum, thought-provoking discussions between the end-users with disabilities and software developers will take place, thus enabling the developers to better understand user needs when developing accessible desktop, mobile and internet applications. The workshop will present the preliminary findings of the project related to its Use Cases and preliminary user requirements, thus stimulating discussions on these issues between both end-users and application developers. Key stakeholders from relevant areas are expected to participate (such as end users' representatives and organisations, EC representatives, technologies developers, etc.). This workshop is an excellent chance to meet experts from relevant fields in the accessibility and open source fields.
Registering is available via http://www.aegis-project.eu/user_forum.html.
