Web Accessibility: What it is, Why it's importantGraham Armfield
Slides from a presentation I gave to an ISTC group meeting on November 12th 2013. The audience consisted mainly of technical authors - most of whom were not technically orientated.
The presentation is an introduction to web accessibility, and as well as a definition for web accessibility I presented some reasons why it's important to take it seriously. I looked at various types of disability and impairment, some examples of assistive technology, and some simple things that content authors can do to help keep their articles and posts accessible.
Presented a short talk on the Web 2.0 Lifestyle to members of the Association of Information Technology Students at SVCE, Sri Venkateswara College of Engineering, Chennai, India. Here are the presentation notes.
Presentation delivered at WordCamp UK - July 2013.
There has been some progress on the accessibility of the WordPress admin screens in the last year. But there are some changes that weren't so welcome. In this presentation I talk about what's happened, and look at some ideas for a strategy to try to ensure WordPress becomes as accessible as possible.
hey , brothers and sisters money is something that we all wish for ,but getting it makes us diffrent in certain fields of life .

Innovation & value creation in the document spaceDon Harbison
IBM has been engaged with open source projects for a very long time. In many ways open source is key to the companies strategy, but why is that?
In this session Don Harbison will examine IBMs motivations and strategies with respect to open source software. Using the OpenOffice project as an example Don will illustrate the key arguments for Open Source in IBM including standards adoption, product commoditization, open innovation, resource sharing and value creation.
OpenOffice was recently donated by Oracle to The Apache Software Foundation and IBM has committed its resources to help support the new Apache project's success, furthermore IBM has announced the contribution of the majority of its Symphony source code to the OpenOffice project. Don will illustrate why an independent, not-for-profit, software foundation was chosen, and why IBM is fully committed to the project's success.

Useful Accessibility Tools Version 3 - Jul 2021Graham Armfield
A collection of tools used to check websites for accessibility, and it some cases improve the accessibility of a website. All the tools are free, so have a go.
So how do i know if my wordpress website is accessible - WordPress Accessibil...Graham Armfield
Testing websites for accessibility can be a daunting undertaking if it's not something you're familiar with. The WCAG 2.1 accessibility guidelines can be hard to follow. But actually, many aspects of digital accessibility are not that complicated.
In this talk I move away from the impenetrable guidelines, and introduce a simpler series of yes/no questions that anyone can answer about their own website. In the time available it can't cover every single potential accessibility problem, but instead I focus on some of the most common, and most serious accessibility issues that I've found when reviewing websites. Where possible, I'll also talk about how you can fix any issues founds.
A look at some useful accessibility tools.
These tools help test websites for accessibility, and there are a couple of WordPress plugins that can help improve a website's accessibility.
Revised version of my presentation - first delivered to WordCamp Manchester in 2019.
Presentation looks at some small tweaks to HTML and CSS that can make your site a little more accessible.
Covers: SVG images, screen reader text, some CSS to help when building your web templates/themes, and some CSS that can help show your content authors where they may have made some accessibility mistakes.
Useful Accessibility Tools - WP Pompey April 2019Graham Armfield
Updated version of my presentation showing some useful tools people can use to test out the accessibility of their site.
The tools range from hardware - ie using a keyboard, through browser extensions and favlets, to a couple of WordPress plugins that can help improve the accessibility of a WordPress website.
Some of the tools can also be used by those with disabilities or impairments to more easily access and deal with websites that are not fully accessible.
In an era where the number of web accessibility legal actions is growing rapidly, it's important that those who build websites do what they can to make their websites accessible. Good accessibility also brings in more potential customers for your products or services - which is good for any business.
This presentation looks at some simple tricks and techniques to improve accessibility that can be incorporated when you're building a WordPress theme - either for yourself or for a client.
It also has a section on what to tell content authors and editors so that they don't mess up the accessibility of the website once you've built it.
Accessibility Hacks Wordcamp Manchester October 2018Graham Armfield
A bunch of small accessibility tweaks that WordPress theme builders can make to improve the accessibility of their products.
Contains a section on making SVG files accessible to screen reader users. And then some CSS techniques that can help trap accessibility gotchas when building themes, and for content authors when they preview posts or pages.
Some useful accessibility tools to help test your site and development environment for accessibility, and can also potentially improve the accessibility of your website.
The slides that go with my Assistive Technology Demo as given to WordCamp Bristol on 13th May 2017.

Obscure Wordpress Functions That Are Actually Quite UsefulGraham Armfield
Slides from a lightning talk delivered to WordPress London Meetup Group on 25th Feb 2016.
The presentation runs through some WordPress functions that I've found useful whilst building themes.
Themes Plugins and Accessibility - WordCamp London March 2015Graham Armfield
WordPress is used by over 20% of the world's websites. But how many accessible themes are there in the WordPress theme repository?
The answer is, "not many".
This presentation tries to demystify the recently introduced accessibility-ready tag within the theme review process. It's a tag that WordPress theme authors can use to indicate that their theme has good accessibility features. It's actually not that hard to achieve, and the web will be a better place if there were more accessibility-ready themes for people to choose from.
I also look at the impact WordCamp plugins can have on accessibility, and talk about whether the accessibility-ready principles could be used by plugin authors. The short answer, is that yes they can be useful.
Can WordPress help make the web more accessible - eaccess15 - Feb 2015Graham Armfield
WordPress is a CMS that now powers over 20% of the world's websites.
But how easy is it to create an accessible website using WordPress? What is there to help you, and what are the pitfalls?
And if you want to help make WordPress more accessible, there's a team of volunteers who would love to talk to you. Come and join in at: https://make.wordpress.org/accessibility/get-involved-1/
This slide deck formed the basis of a round table discussion that I chaired at eAccess15 in London on 24th March 2015.
There are over 2000 WordPress themes available on the WordPress theme repositiry. But only a small number are fully accessible.
Yet the accessibility guidelines available in the WordPress codex aren't hard to follow. And there is a new 'accessibility ready' tag that can be applied to themes that pass the extra accessibility test carried out when themes are reviewed.
This presentation looks at the accessibility part of the WordPress theme review process and describes what needs to be done to help a theme pass the test.
Even if you're not creating themes for the WordPress repository, but just creating them for your own website, or for a client, this presentation could be useful.
Wordpress and Web Accessibility Wordcamp UK 2014Graham Armfield
WordPress accessibility is improving, with some real strides over the last year. But is it changing fast enough?
This presentation covers some of the improvements that have been made with WordPress themes, and in the admin area. But I also cover some things that shouldn't have happened, and where we can learn from mistakes.
I also present my view of where WordPress should go next with accessibility.
Presentation delivered to ISTC (Institute of Scientific and Technical Communicators) Southern Area Group on May 13th 2014.
The presentation is an introduction to using WordPress, and how it can work for you if you need a website, for your business or your own personal blog.
I cover a bit about the history of WordPress, how it works, adding content, getting a WordPress website, and general maintenance when you've got one.
So How Do I Know if My Website is Accessible?Graham Armfield
Presentation I delivered on Global Accessibility Awareness Day - May 15th 2014. It was delivered as part of Inclusive Design 24 - 24 hours of accessibility webinars. The event was sponsored by the Paciello Group and Adobe.
The presentation is aimed at developers and website administrators who may have heard about accessibility, but who'd like to learn more.
It sets out a series of yes/no questions that anyone can answer about their own websites - using simple techniques and a couple of useful tools that you can download.
The presentation doesn't cover all aspects of web accessibility, but if you can answer these questions correctly about your website, then it's going to be more accessible than many.
Running a listing or job board site can be a great experience and generate ad revenue. But you don't really want to add all the listings in yourself - that can be a lot of work.
So why not get your site visitors to add it for you, but without having to give them all a WordPress login.
This presentation focuses on the key techniques you can use to accept user generated content via a form on your WordPress website. You can use these techniques in many different ways, eg: for gig listings, general events, classified ads, job boards, company profiles, etc.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?

On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
