[Accessibility_sig] Designathon/Codeathon

[Aimee Ronn]

Hey web Designers and Developers,

We need your Help!

On April 14th and 15th the League of Technical Voters and Knowbility are
hosting the first event of the Designathon/Codeathon 2.0-
a charity coding effort created to help build usable, accessible, open
source web tools for use by the non-profit community.

The goal of the Designathon on April 14-15 is to lay the foundation, in
terms of usability, accessibility, functionality and graphical interface
design,
for the software to be created at the Codeathon the following week.

The Codeathon is a 24-hour lockin, which will take place April
21st-22nd, at which programmers will implement designs created at the
Designathon-
or other designs of their own choosing.

There are only 3 criteria for Designathon/Codeathon projects:

1. Non-Profit relevance: Software should be useful to Non-Profit
organizations.
2. General relevance: Software should have a wide variety of
applications to different organizations and situations,
    as opposed to being tailor-made for one specific organization.
3. Open Source: All software developed will be open source...this is a
charity event!
