Whilst we are talking about supporting a wide range of users/contributors, what 
about a11y?  In all honesty I'm not so sure we could suck any more at it even 
if we tried to suck at it!  As I had blogged previously a11y isn't just for 
those with disabilities but for all users.  It can also be used for automating 
tests etc.  

In my mind a strategy needs to have a Short (0-12 months), Medium (12-24 
months) & Long (>24 months) term goal.  Both medium and long term would flex 
with the times but short term is fixed.

As such it would be perfectly feasable to have openSUSE as the most accessible 
distro as a short term goal.  There are some very knowledgable people within 
the community on the topic of a11y, heck several of them work for Novell. Why 
don't we get at least one of them across for the conference to educate us?  

Making sure that all users and contributors find openSUSE the best experience 
possible is what we have to do, and that means all aspects of the project, 
regardless of whether it is distro, obs, forums, mailing list, whatever.

(Sorry for top posting, it's my phone - honest!)
