If you are interested in participating in EOWG, coming to this face-to-face meeting would be a good opportunity to learn more about the group. If you might want to attend, please give me a call at +1-617-395-7664 or e-mail email hidden; JavaScript is required *by Wednesday 20 October*.

W3C Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) welcomes participation from individuals and organizations to help make the Web more accessible to people with disabilities. WAI's Education and Outreach Working Group (EOWG) is looking for participants from industry, disability organizations, accessibility research, government, and others interested in Web accessibility.

* copyediting
* drafting documents and incorporating group feedback, as a lead editor
* user interface / user interaction design
* CSS, javascript, and other development
* wiki editing
* print design
* testing with assistive technologies and adaptive strategies
