An "accessible" version (html that is) of the brochure can be found at: http://www.accessibility.nl/internet/ebrochure/brochure/index.html?langid=1

  Hi,

  I should add that the brochure that's currently online still contains a few errors (graphics that are shifted or disappeared, etc). An updated version has still to be uploaded (this week I think).

  Greets,

  Richard

    Hi Michelle and group!

    Hope I can attend the meeting tommorow. I'm very interested to hear your plans about a possible GA book. Maybe it's a nice idea to use the list to develop an outline of possible chapters?
    For everyone still anxiously awaiting news on a possible Game Accessibility Conference: 

    The last few months have been very hectic for me due to my Ph.D. work, personal matters like my mother-in-law recieving a permanent tracheo-stoma (she has PSMA, which is a form of progressive muscle disorder), work on my appartment, heavy flu in januari, etc, etc. So I haven't been able to continu to work on a possible conference. My main contact (who has the most experience and who could help me organize the conference together with several universities) is very busy himself with a very small 1 day conference which has turned out to a much larger task then he anticipated. However, we recently had a positive talk about it at the Accessibility foundation where I work so all's not lost :) However, all is going very very slowly unfortunately. 

    By the way, if anyone wants to view a brochure on web accessibility we (Accessibility foundation) recently developed in collaboration with HP, have a look at:

    http://www.hp.com/hpinfo/abouthp/accessibility/webaccessibility/accessibility_brochure.pdf

    (or: http://tinyurl.com/5fdum )

    Again, hope to meet you tommorrow (as I lately seem to miss it due to permanent public transport delays)!
    Greets,

    Richard

    > Hi everyone -- This is an email primarily for those who are authors of the
    > SIG's paper for HCI International in Las Vegas in July. All are welcome to
    > the meeting tomorrow but the main focus for the next month will be the
    > completion of this paper. We'll return to regular SIG meetings on March 14
    > (post Game Developer's Conference).
    > 
    > So this is just a quick reminder about the meeting tomorrow at 12noon
    > (EST)/9am (PST) -- it's the same time that we normally meet. We'll go over
    > the paper as it stands right now and talk about the plan to finish it up by
    > the March 1 deadline. 
    > 
    > One other item of business will be to talk about a possible book to be put
    > out by the SIG! Yes, I pleased to announce that I've been contacted by
    > Charles River Media Publishers about the SIG putting out a games
    > accessibility book.  I'm sitting down with their gaming editor at GDC in
    > early March -- so be thinking about some ideas that I can bring to her on
    > behalf of the SIG at GDC. My initial idea is to create an edited book by the
    > SIG so that those who are interested can each have their own chapter (and,
    > thus, book chapter publication) and it also opens up the book for those who
    > may be doing research but are not (YET!) involved with the SIG.
    > 
    > IMPORTANT (how to get to the meeting): If you aren't already on MSN
    > Messenger, please sign up for an account as soon as possible. Then add me,
    > vrgrrl at hotmail.com (that's right, vrgrrl), to your contacts list.
    > I'll make sure that you are added to the conference room when I see you
    > online right before the meeting. Email me at hinn at uiuc.edu if you have any
    > problems.
    > 
    > See you tomorrow! Some REALLY exciting stuff in the works!
