moin moin Steve,

We are generally looking for presentations even if the thread was 
originally for devel.

I want us to have your presentations! I've included Scott on this reply as
he's coordinating our east side meeting topics. Sorry for not responding
after we talked, but I couldn't find your email address on the list.

Yes, web accessibility for developers would be a great devel topic.

Thanks for your willingness to present and for following up on it.

ciao,
