Regarding accessibility, here are some of the measures we took: * solved some small wheelchair accessibilities inherent to the premises * clearly added accessibility information to the FOSDEM brochure and website * tried to use dedicated signage for wheelchair users, settled on personal assistance by staff for wheelchair users * reserve space for people with hearing needs in the front of the main auditoria * clearly label a staff member (me) to deal with accessibility related requests before, during and after the event * consult with an accessibility specialist on possible minor improvements on the campus * accessibility developer room (2011), plus plenty of space for accessibility elsewhere in the program (like in the open design developer room this year) Kind regards, Mark -- Mark Van den Borre https://fosdem.org staff
