Tuesday August 15, 2006 ODF Accessibility coding contestOur friends at IBM have come up with an interesting, fun, and useful contest for students: take up their ODF Accessibility Coding Challenge and make contributions to ODF Accessibility. Specifically undergraduate students in the U.S, Canada, China, and Japan at select colleges and Universities enter 'Phase 1' by filling out a questionaire, and then on to 'Phase 2' where they either submit a program to validate the accessibility of ODF text files, or submit a proposal for a program the student wants to write to work on some other ODF accessibility issue they have identified. Prizes include t-shirts, iPod Nanos, and two grand prizes of a laptop and a trip to the CSUN Conference on Technology and Persons with Disabilities in 2007. See contest rules for details. Pretty cool! (2006-08-15 17:33:49.0) Permalink Comments [1] Post a Comment: Comments are closed for this entry. |
