[nabs-l] New Nabslinkaudio.org Site Will Launch Tonight

[Amy Sabo]

Hello david and all,

Yes, I too have gone to this site since I recovered from last
weekend's nfb of Colorado state convention and, yes there's
nothing there on the site either. I thought this was done but, I
guess I was wrong just like everyone else was occurred when they
go to this site.

It must've been due to many bugs in the system or something that
has happened who knows...

Again, thanks chris for posting this to the list and, hopefully
it will get solved soon!



Hugs,
amy

Hi David,

I just checked the site, and it STILL says "the page cannot be
displayed" when I select the "click here to download or listen to
past NABS presentations" link.

Greetings Everyone!
After many anxious requests for it,
After many have been asking for it,
I am happy to announce that...
Tonight by 9 PM eastern, the new and upgraded nabslinkaudio.org
web site will be up!
What does this mean?
It means that all the nabs membership calls that I've been able
to record from the time the nabslinkaudio.org project launched to
now will be available.  But that's not all!
Here are some of the new/improved features you can expect from
the site.

This year's meeting from national convention will be available
for download.  The final few parts of the elections got cut out
sadly, but the ones for president, vice president and secretary
get revealed.  If anyone has any past national convention
meetings they are willing to share, put them on sendspace or
dropbox and email the link/links to djdrocks4ever at gmail.com so
they too can be added.


*Closer tighter integration with nabslink.org, meaning you'll
beable to use the same navigation bar on the nabslink site over
on the nabslink audio site too.  This will make it easier for you
to go from our audio pages to the student slate section if you
want, etc.  
Steps
will be taken to try to combine or integrate these sites a little
more so they can perhaps become one resource for students A
friendly greeting awaits your ears when you launch the new
nabslinkaudio site, but it only plays one time and one time only
unless you delete all your internet cookies everyday.  This will
not interfere with the use of your screen reader when the site is
launched for the first time.
I'd like to put some more informational audio up on the site.  
Like
talk to people who hold various jobs who are part of the NFB in
an effort to find out about the jobs, what their college
experience was like while moving towards the goal of obtaining
said job, what accessibility challenges came up and how they
dealt with them, etc.
I'm hoping I can integrate these things into the
nabslinkaudio.org page as an educational resource for blind
students.

The ability to receive text notifications by cell phone when a
new conference call is in the archives plus when one is about to
air live is now fully integrated into the nabslink audio podcast
page.  
Anyone
wishing to use this feature, including those who previously took
advantage of it on the old system will have to go through our
automated registration and validation process.  This will ensure
you and the nabs membership committee that only the phone owner
is using this feature and that phone numbers aren't being
distributed everywhere.

For anyone who fills out the contact form to leave me feedback
I'll see it and be able to respond faster now since the form also
sends me a text message..

The web address
http://www.nabslinkaudio.org
won't change.  the site will be up by 9 PM eastern.  As soon as
it goes up, a tweet and an email will be sent out to this list,
so feel free to spread the word once that happens and to leave
your comments/feedback.
If you need to get in touch, email
djdrocks4ever at gmail.com
