[libreoffice-accessibility] Fwd: [tdf-announce] LibreOffice Conference 2014 Call for Paper

Hi :)
Wow!!

Accessibility is 5th on the list!  I've not noticed where it's been
positioned before but it feels like a good opportunity for someone
from this mailing list to present a proposal on any relevant issue.
Perhaps quite a few people on this list have useful things to say or
could form a work-group to present something together?

How does this all work?  I take it this first stage is to 'just' write
a paper and send it in.  What normally happens next?  Apparently there
might be some funds available to cover travel and accommodation if
that is relevant (ie if it's not some sort of video conference or
something).  I'm not sure how much but it's something that you could
explore or ask about on the marketing mailing list or somewhere.
Regards from
Tom :)
