Sharing of knowledge, freedom of information, community spirit, |
13 |
exchange of ideas, technological progress: every year the Libre |
14 |
Software Meeting (LSM) follows the Libre philosophy. |
15 |
|
16 |
RMLL/LSM is a non-commercial series of conferences, round tables |
17 |
discussions and practical workshops based on Libre/Free Software and |
18 |
its uses. Its aim is to provide a platform for Libre/Free Software |
19 |
users, developers and stakeholders. |
20 |
|
21 |
Access to LSM is free of charge and open to everyone. The conference |
22 |
will be held in Beauvais from July 1st to July 7, 2017. |
23 |
|
24 |
We hereby announce the opportunity to submit papers for selection by |
25 |
the technical review committee for the RMLL/LSM 2017. |
26 |
|
27 |
This year again we would like to put a particular emphasis on |
28 |
accessibility on the whole RMLL/LSM event. We will have our usual |
29 |
workshop, as described below, but we would like to have accessibility |
30 |
talks held in other sessions too, if possible all of them, as was |
31 |
achieved in 2010 in Bordeaux. |
32 |
|
33 |
We thus invite you to submit your accessibility talks to various |
34 |
topics, so as to broaden the audience of accessibility questions. |
35 |
|
36 |
Concerning our dedicated accessibility workshop, to better target the |
37 |
various exchanges that will be taking place, the programme committee |
38 |
of the accessibility workshop proposes several kinds of meetings: |
39 |
|
40 |
- "Solution" meetings, with conferences and round tables to present |
41 |
solutions dedicated to previous areas. |
42 |
|
43 |
- "State of the art" conferences between practitioners, developers, |
44 |
scientists and users to discuss about what exists according to the |
45 |
specific needs of users, what works well or a little less well, |
46 |
to talk about approaches... |
47 |
|
48 |
- "Technical" presentations between developers and scientists. This |
49 |
will allow initiation of exchanges between communities that do not |
50 |
necessarily have the opportunity to meet and will maybe lead to new |
51 |
collaborations or projects. |
52 |
|
53 |
Finally, a workshop area will be available to try out and exchange |
54 |
tools presented by their authors or by seasoned users of those |
55 |
solutions. |
56 |
|
