DESCRIPTION:When websites and web tools are properly designed and coded\, p
 eople with disabilities can use them. However\, currently many sites and t
 ools are developed with accessibility barriers that make them difficult or
  impossible for some people to use [W3C - Introduction to Web Accessibilit
 y].\n\nThe European accessibility requirements present a new and welcome c
 hallenge for OSGeo applications. Accessibility (a11y) goes far beyond ease
 -of-use\, with strict guidance on making web applications easily accessibl
 e to screen readers and assistive technologies.\n\nThis talk provides an o
 verview of implementing the accessibility guidelines WCAG 2.1\, WAI-ARIA\,
  and EN 301 549 (Harmonised European Standard). GeoNetwork is used as a ca
 se study here\, with “hands-on” illustrations of successful guideline 
 implementations and their technical and organisational challenges.\n\nMaki
 ng OSGeo Software accessible is a rewarding task that requires broad commu
 nity engagement and support. Attend this talk to learn more about meeting 
 the a11y requirements and the impact they will have on your organisation a
 nd your software solution.
