Hi everyone,
NV Access are certainly keen to continue to champion NVDACon and happy to provide whatever support is needed. I think this year more than ever, people are looking at what online conferences are around, so I think it should be well received publicly (my completely unscientific opinion). As it happens I was speaking with one of the presenters from last year who had some notes from her talk. I was thinking I might share those in perhaps the next In-Process and that might be a good segway into getting people starting to think about the conference. I just put out In-Process last night, so if we have any thoughts on what we'd like to start to say at this point (just "we're starting to plan this year's NVDACon, start thinking about what you'd like to have included" is fine).
Quentin.

Hi, Actually, I think it would be best to let life priorities take precedence. The earliest NVDACon 2020 can be held, assuming that everyone I willing to do it this year, is late fall. Cheers, Joseph

Well if anyone needs help with letters, etc, I'd be happy to do something, just tell me what to do and I'll go and make it happen.
If its just fixing things or reading fan mail or whatever whatever, if you need someone to do stuff I'll gladly help with it.
I have a feeling my physical contracts will not happen this year anyway.

I agree with joseph about life, I have suspended a lot of my online activities and such because of life even though we are mostly through lockdown getting back to normal or as close to it is my top prioritynow.
Saying that, I can probably do a few small to medium jobs round the place.

Dear Quentin and all, as for me, I have already written that currently my job takes alot of my ressources and currently I also have some other priorities this year. I would be glad to help out as much as I can for NVDACon, but someone else might take the lead here. I have already written this at the beginning of the year, but sofar we didn’t get any applications for the co-chair position sofar unfortunately. Currently there is a good infrastructure in place on Google drive as follows: - A promo sheet with many addresses (social media channels, mailing lists, radio stations etc) where NVDACon could be promoted
- A spreadsheet with a time frame for sessions, ready to go. Only session name, description and author need to be adjusted accordingly. I think Derek even used his super skills and improved this and linked it with the website so that timehzones are considered automatically. The spreadsheet itself is in UTC
- Standards for audio editing in case anything needs to be uploaded
- Agendas and notes from previous NVDACon organizational meetings to see what was discussed.
The only thing we need are moderators and promoters. I am happy to manage the email address info@... and respond to queeries etc. But I will not be able to do the promo job and the organizational stuff like writing to presenters etc this time. So happy to see some interested people who are motivated to take the lead here. I certainly would give some guidance and support where needed.

Well its interesting you should mention utc, is there a good
timezone converter I need a small tool to convert times I put into
it to my local timezone because I have a beta contract in june and
the thing is online, I signed up knowing that is the case but I
need an easy way to convert on the fly.
I know I can do this online but is there anything faster than
that.

notes from previous NVDACon organizational meetings to see
what was discussed.
The only thing we need

Hi everyone,
NV Access are certainly keen to
continue to champion NVDACon and happy to provide
whatever support is needed. I think this year more than
ever, people are looking at what online conferences are
around, so I think it should be well received publicly
(my completely unscientific opinion). As it happens I
was speaking with one of the presenters from last year
who had some notes from her talk. I was thinking I
might share those in perhaps the next In-Process and
that might be a good segway into getting people starting
to think about the conference. I just put out
In-Process last night, so if we have any thoughts on
what we'd like to start to say at this point (just
"we're starting to plan this year's NVDACon, start
thinking about what you'd like to have included" is
fine).
we should have the con. i dont know
what others say.

No, as far as I know first NVDACon was in 2012, so 10 years anniversary in 2022.
That would be great Robert. AS I said, I can support you if needed and I am sure Derek as well.
But I think first of all we need enough people for moderations and promotions. Otherwise it will be a hard job. Last time I slept two hours or so in the whole weekend :-) but was a great experience.
I think Pascal and Jesse were last time also very engaged, so we might contact them as well.

Due to timezone I can't take any active speaking role but if there is something people want me to do in the background I could take a supporting role.
Just remember my timezone is back to front, so I may be half to a full day almost behind so while that can be an advantage I can probably do any paperwork or assistance with some of it anyway.

Hi, NVDACon (at least the international version) began in 2014. I'm willing to provide guidance on organizing this, provided that the community really wants this and people are willing to help once they are ready. Still, I advise holding off until people are mentally ready (chairing and organizing a virtual meeting requires commitment, which also involves mental work). Cheers, Joseph

Well, in this case Robert has allways helped alot during last two NVDACons and I am quite sure he is currently one of the best people to take the lead. He knows all the process also because he is already in the perpetual group since longer time now.
But I think Joseph everyone of us who organized NVDACon can provide support where needed. You of course more than most of us due to your year long experience.

name, description and author need to be adjusted accordingly. I think Derek even used his super skills and improved this and linked it with the website so that timehzones are considered automatically. The spreadsheet itself is in UTC * Standards for audio editing in case anything needs to be uploaded * Agendas and notes from previous NVDACon organizational meetings to see
what was discussed.
The only thing we need are moderators and promoters. I am happy to manage the email address info@... <mailto:info@...> and respond to queeries etc. But I will not be able to do the promo job and the organizational stuff like writing to presenters etc this time.
So happy to see some interested people who are motivated to take the lead here. I certainly would give some guidance and support where needed.
Best

Hi everyone,
NV Access are certainly keen to continue to champion NVDACon and happy to provide whatever support is needed. I think this year more than ever, people are looking at what online conferences are around, so I think it should be well received publicly (my completely unscientific opinion). As it happens I was speaking with one of the presenters from last year who had some notes from her talk. I was thinking I might share those in perhaps the next In-Process and that might be a good segway into getting people starting to think about the conference. I just put out In-Process last night, so if we have any thoughts on what we'd like to start to say at this point (just "we're starting to plan this year's NVDACon, start thinking about what you'd like to have included" is fine).
Quentin.
