Hi everyone! Thanks a lot to Sarah for taking the initiative to create this group. After Sarah and Tara, this is my turn to introduce myself. I am 34, French (pardon my English...), and founded Access42 <http://access42.net/-home-.html?lang=en>, a cooperative enterprise <http://www.les-scop.coop/sites/en/index.html> specialized in digital accessibility. I have been working in the digital accessibility field since 2007. We do consultancy, but Access42 is also a training center. My colleagues and I are writing free resources to help people including accessibility in their Web projects, we also wrote an operational reference guide of the WCAG 2 for the French government (RGAA 3 <http://references.modernisation.gouv.fr/rgaa-3-0-RC2-1>, based on the AccessiWeb reference guide), and one of our new fields of research is about building accessible MOOCs, working with a group of French universities in order to write a reference guide with best practices about designing an inclusive MOOC. I am also engaged in different associations promoting Free Software, and founded Freedom #0 <http://liberte0.org/en/index.html>, an association promoting accessible free software. As a professional and an activist, I sincerely believe Education is the key to build an inclusive society. So when I read on Twitter Sarah wanted to create this working group, I enthusiastically supported this creation. I look forward to sharing about those subjects with you.
