OASIS ODF a11y SC meeting tomorrow,5Oct06 8am PT / 11am ET / 4pm GMT / 5pm CET

[Peter Korn <Peter.Korn@Sun.COM>]

Greetings,

Rich has passed the baton back to me, back and fresh from refresh 
activities.  It'll have to go back to Rich next week, as I'll be 
unavailable.

Connection info:

Thursday 5Oct; 8am PT / 11am ET / 4pm GMT / 5pm CET
1-866-839-8145 (US toll free)
1-865-524-6352 (Intl)
code: 6560654#

IRC: http://irc.oasis-open.org
channel: "&office-accessibility"


I would like to propose for our agenda:

* Approval of minutes from last week (attached, and also at:
<http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office-accessibility/200609/msg00026.html> 
)

* Our Accessibility Guidelines.  Attached please fine draft #8, which is 
also at:
<http://oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/office-accessibility/download.php/20390/ODF_Accessibility_Guidelines_7Sept06.odt> 

   I appear to be the main bottleneck, still working on Chapter 2 which 
is late.  Also, I understand that Steve Nobel will update the section on 
MathML.

* Because I expect we'll want to talk about it anyway, the resignation 
of Louis Gutierrez, CIO of Massachusetts ITD

* Because I expect we'll also want to about this anyway, the Section 
508/255 Refresh meeting of last week, which formed a subcommittee whose 
charter includes document content accessibility.

* Action items from last week (Dave - please help me if I missed any):
  JS: to pursue further investigation of background image ALT text
      in W3C, elsewhere
  JS: Contact AFB, APH, & Brian Charlson about making an ODF
      testimonial
  All: review the ODF Accessibility Guidelines document to date,
       provide feedback
  RS: "Find out what is needed (to clarify)"  [I could use clarification 
on this!]

* Action item I'd like to give someone: PING TC as to why our carefully 
updated charter is not yet in place at: 
http://oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=office-accessibility
