Steve Lee :: Blog :: Open Accessibility conference poster for RAatE conference

I've created a poster for the upcomming RAatE Assistive Technology conference to promote the Open Source Accessibility work of Mozilla, Gnome, OATsoft and others. It centres on how I got the Jambu grant from Mozilla, hopefully encouraging others. Side panels cover Mozilla, Open Source and Standards, OATSoft, Firefox, GNOME and other projects like dasher.

It's available as the original OOo presentation (ODF) and a tagged PDF and is A1 size but also works as a A4 printout.

I've put it on a UK CC attribution sharealike license as  it ispromoting Open Source activities.

This is the first academic conference poster I've done and I had not even seen one before but there is a lot of guidance on the web (you can ignore the references to PowerPoint as OOo does as well). The hardest part is selecting the look. Using presentation software is pretty straightforward though you need to set the paper page size to A1 first. It took me much longer than I expected, over 12 hours including research.
