on Skype (contact m.gifford or brandonbowersox on Skype to be added to the group if this is your first time joining)
Anyone interested in working on Accessibility using Drupal is invited.
Please respond with suggested topics
The call is a voice conference call on Skype. We'll be asking for a volunteer to post notes to the g.d.o. group so that people who could not attend can still review the notes and post comments. We will try to limit the main agenda to one hour.
This a regular monthly event the Second Tuesday of each month.
What would you like us to discuss this month?

Will the upcoming Global
Will the upcoming Global Accessibility Awareness Day on May 9th be discussed? We're doing a GAAD general accessibility workshop in Downtown LA, and we'll be broadcasting it via our Google+ Hangout: http://groups.drupal.org/node/228643
I don't know if I can make the Skype call on the 8th but I'll try.
