Re: An invitation from the W3C WAI-Adapt Task Force

Dear Graham:

I'm reaching out to you at Kevin White's suggestion. As per Kevin's note
below, I understand you're interested in the AAC symbols work ongoing in
the Accessible Platform Architectures (APA) Working Group in W3C/WAI,
specifically in our WAI-Adapt Task Force. As I believe you also know,
this specific work effort will be the sole focus of an upcoming Face to
Face meeting in Staines-Upon-Thames early in May.

I'm going to now include you on a group email regarding participation in
this specific Face to Face, but I also wanted to reach out to you
personally. If you could please tell us a bit more about your interest,
I would be happy to respond more specifically to you.

Warmly,
Janina

He is available at graham@grahamthe.dev <mailto:graham@grahamthe.dev> if you want to reach out to him and mention it. I thought he was a member org but he is an IE so it would be just that wee bit more challenging to invite him along.
