--0000000000008476cf05c94b93e3 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi Summary: Obstacles to accessible TeX this Thursday 12 Aug, 6:30 to 7:30pm UK time. URL: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/78551255396?pwd=3DcHdJN0pTTXRlRCtSd1lCTHpuWmNIUT0= 9 Links to 8 accessibility talks at recent TeX conference. Topics for TeX Hour, to the end of August. At the TeX Conference last weekend there were 8 talks that focussed on accessibility. I think that's a record. The subject of the TeX Hour this Thursday is "Obstacles to Accessible TeX". This includes technical, social and human problems. Sharing experience and a fair partnership between blind and sighted are crucial for avoiding and removing obstacles. One of the talks is a 30 minute conversation between Jonathan Godfrey and Jana Schroeder, both of whom are blind. I had the honor of facilitating this conversation. Even if you don't go to the TeX Hour, I think it's well worth listening to. It's available at https://youtu.be/KNLJwjKg7EM Here are the TeX Hour details: Date and time: Thursday 12 August, 6.30 to 7.30pm UK time. UK time now: https://time.is/UK.
