Hey folks! Just wanted to let you all know, the GNOME-A11y Team now has its own Twitter account. I set this up so we can tweet live from the CSUN Conference, but also I want to use this to continually update the world on the activities happening within our own team. We'll send out announcements

Missouri, anyone?

There's an accessibility technology conference in Columbia, MO (USA) April 26 and 27. It'd be nice if we could send someone there. Is there anyone in the Missouri area that could go there and represent GNOME-A11y and maybe do a talk? http://at.mo.gov/powerup/sessions.htm There's a session on us
