EASI: Equal Access to Software and Information Home


      Norm's Reflections on last week's CSUN conference

These remarks are personal, and other attendees will paint a different 
picture. The meeting rooms, the exhibit hall and the lobby seemed maybe 
even more crowded than ever. I went with an interest in anything related 
to ePub3, Google, Android and Amazon which colors my experience.

I have only missed 2-3 conventions since its beginning. Historically, 
most presentations were put on by College and university IT and DSS 
staff. It seems to me that increasingly presenters came from vendors. 
These were mostly useful and informative and not just commercials. 
Besides people from major AT vendors, mainstream vendors presented many 
presentations and had extensive exhibits. Amazon and Google had a 
significant showing. While most of their products can use continued work 
to be as accessible as possible, they have done real work. Having 
mainstream vendors building access into their products is a gratifying 
and long-awaited accomplishment. Don't be surprised if future Webinars 
reflect my experience.
