RE: Let's introduce ourselves

Thanks, Zheng! I will go next.

My name is Pascal Calarco and I am a systems librarian at the University of Windsor in Ontario, Canada.

My interest in the W3C EPUB3 work is the intersection of my work with a pilot project to lend accessible reading materials between Canadian and U.S. academic research libraries, under the provisions of the Marrakesh Treaty. I am trying to educate myself on EPUB 3 as an accessible framework for accessible content, and also to understand the tools and best practices for creating compliant EPUB3 documents from digitized print materials.

All best,

Subject: Let's introduce ourselves

Hi folks

Some of you might have noticed that I started to ask new joined members to introduce themselves shortly.

Actually I think maybe it's also a good time to introduce ourselves to new members and each other as well since the CG started to be active during covid and I think a lot of us did not know each other and might have missed some of the PCG meetings (which is totally fine).

Ok, I will run a quick introduction of myself.

My name is Zheng Xu. I am located in Ottawa (Canada) and founder of Gardenia Corp (a digital reading system firm).
I joined PCG because I hope I could help with prototyping new reading experiences, test new concepts and most importantly - make them into a real product or spec to benefit digital book readers.


Cheers,
Zheng
