@fedimedia @sfscon @fsfe @kde @tdforg @opensource I wouldn't like to make a mistake but I feel that there are not so many accessibility advocates talking. But maybe I watched this and past schedules too quickly. Talking about sfscon.My purpose is to make international audience realize that it's true, we still depend on closed tech, but it is no longer the moment to let it be the only accessible tech available. It's too dependant on political decisions and money investments.

    @elettrona There are still relatively few talks led by blind and visually impaired people about accessibility, which is why having you in Bolzano is so important. It’s a great opportunity for you to share your work and experience with a wider audience, but also for the many organisations attending @sfscon including @fsfe, @kde and @tdforg.We hope they will attend your talk and take the opportunity to listen and better understand what needs to be improved on @opensource projects.

    @fedimedia @sfscon @fsfe @kde @tdforg @opensource Let me be a little rude: accessibility has to be made accessible itself. There are events such as Accessibility Days in Milan or Rome, every year in May, but it mostly invites academics and theory. Or the usual, boring rethoric of empathy or stuff. Disabled people as assisted. I want to change the narration. Being productive and in need of concrete solutions. They can't say we're not productive if tech doesn't properly support us.
