introduction

Hi,

I have recently joined this community group and thought I should 
introduce myself. For a more complete profile, please see my web page at 
http://www.catherine-roy.net (in French; I really should get around to 
posting an English version).

I have been interested and involved in open data and open government 
initiatives since 2006, whether locally, on a provincial or federal 
level and have been following international work on governance and 
technology for about 10 years. More generally, I have been working on 
digital divide issues since 1999, especially with regards to, but not 
limited to, access to information technologies and the Web for people 
with disabilities. I have some experience developping standards, most 
notably as consultant and co-author of initial version of the 
accessibility standard for the government of Québec. I am also a member 
of the HTML WG and have been following that work since pretty much the 
beginning. I am fluently bilingual (French & English) and have a lot of 
translation experience of technical documents.

While I do have some health issues at the moment and so not as available 
as I would like, I am very interested in the objectives of this 
community group. I will be following the work here and I hope to be of use.

Best regards,

Catherine
