>Inspired by the success of Accessibility Meetups being held in
>Washington DC, Boston, and elsewhere, I will be holding regularly
>occurring meetups in Baltimore at the Library for the Blind and
>Physically Handicapped.  These meetups will follow the mold of those
>which occur in DC, where each meetup will have a speaker who comes to
>speak to the group about a specific topic of interest to those
>involved in (or wish to learn about) web accessibility.
>
>The first meeting will be held April 9th 2011. I will be the speaker
>at that meeting and will be discussing web accessibility testing and
>tools. It is my intent that these meetings be technology & vendor
>neutral, and therefore my talk on the 8th will mention characteristics
>of testing tools and will list several tools, although I do plan on
>giving a (rather quick) discussion of FireEyes.
>
>The Library is located at 415 Park Ave., Baltimore, MD 21201. The main
>number is 410.230.2424.
>
>I hope you will be able to join me and would like very much if you
>could pass this information on to others who you feel might find these
>meetups beneficial.
>
>Also, I am looking for anyone willing to come speak at these meetups.
>If you or someone you know would be interested, please get in touch.
>

>Thanks.
