About a month ago, I had the privilege of presenting #FreeBSD at the Institute for the Blind in Milan, during an event held in connection with #GAAD (Global Accessibility Awareness Day). It was a profoundly meaningful experience that deepened my commitment to digital accessibility and the development of assistive technologies.

I'm excited to share that the #Accessibility Handbook, focused on vision-related assistive technologies in FreeBSD, is nearly complete. This task has been made possible thanks to the tireless dedication of FreeBSD community volunteers and the support of the @FreeBSDFoundation for new projects and documentation centered on visual accessibility.

GAAD 2025: Digitalen Barrierefreiheit in der Verwaltung

Am 15. Mai haben wir mit den Durchsetzungsstellen mehrerer Bundesländer und der Bundesfachstelle Barrierefreiheit zu einer Online-Veranstaltung eingeladen. Unter dem Titel "Lösungsansätze für die Umsetzung der digitalen Barrierefreiheit in der Verwaltung" informierten sie fünf Stunden lang mit Vorträgen und einer Diskussionsrunde. Ein Mitschnitt der Veranstaltung und die dazugehörigen Präsentationen sind jetzt online und können öffentlich eingesehen werden. Anlass war der Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD). Das Thema war gefragt: Über 220 Interessierte nahmen an dem Online-Event teil.
