[games_access] NIME accessibility

[Anthony Brooks]

Dear Ian -

Thanks for the mails.
I send the below as is is accessibility related (but not games) - maybe you can check it out anyhow -
I write as I have the news that I have initiated a new track in the prestigious New Interfaces for Musical Expression (NIME) conference - http://www.nime2017.org
It is the “NIME accessibility” track - hence I am accessibility chair see - http://www.nime2017.org/committee/
I have already received notice of interest in submitting from University of Montreal so I am spreading the news on this within possible interested networks so that there is sizeable submissions on the subject as well as sufficient interest to promote in the following years of the event.

Can I ask you to spread the news and to ask others also to support by informing on this new track.

Thanks
Tony

It is looking like record participation this year, they're way over 600 venues now, which should translate into over 35000 developers. So should be some nice awareness raising!
