| Debra Ruh @debraruh RT @AXSChat: |
 | 21st Century Digital Craftsmanship @cldbrand A1 #Accessibility is so far off the radar, (in my experience) how can awareness that also immediately benefits them not be welcomed? #axschat https://t.co/EHgQEVcooI |
| Debra Ruh @debraruh RT @nabileid1: Good evening everyone! #AXSChat |
 | Nabil Eid @nabileid1 A1 Addressing all national & International standards via local communities, developers, NGOs, INGOs, universities about #accessibility awareness and provide a strong basis for the development of national & international regulation, to learn about #A11Y and participate #AXSChat |
 | William Shu 📱⚽️🖖 @william_shu It's Tuesday, it's 8 PM. Hmm... What to do. What to do. #AXSChat |
 | Jayne Cravens Coyote Communications @jcravens42 @AXSChat @knowbility What I love about #OpenAIR is that the designers participating learn & enhance skills they can apply well beyond the event, in their regular jobs. Impact isn't limited to only the OpenAIR event. #AXSChat #tech4impact |
| Debra Ruh @debraruh RT @emmahorsfall1: |
 | Missy Richmond @StargardtEyes RT @NeilMilliken: |
| Debra Ruh @debraruh A1 hackathons like #OpenAIR https://t.co/mXKlfw2IrC open up the accessibility innovation field to anyone who has a desire to do it, this allows not only accessibility for those with disability but can make accessibility to technology easier for us all #AXSChat #A11y #inclusion |

| Debra Ruh @debraruh RT @RoseMusachio: Hi Everyone and welcome Knowability to #axschat ! |
| Rosemary Musachio @RoseMusachio 1. #hackathons tend to stir up publicity. So if a hackathon is about #a11y, companies will notice it and will hopefully implement best practices within a business mainstream. #axschat |
| Missy Richmond @StargardtEyes RT @NeilMilliken: |

| Nabil Eid @nabileid1 A1 @Knowbility can help through advocacy organisations and peak bodies are calling for community #inclusion to work as an agent of change for PWD. Suggest a multi-level approach is needed, working with different stakeholders at individual, community and societal levels #AXSChat |
 | Pro Electrician @proelectrician2 RT @DestekSolutions: |
| Jayne Cravens Coyote Communications @jcravens42 @BarclaysAccess Awesome! Does that mean Barclays is going to have a web design team in #OpenAIR 2018?!? https://t.co/QD3KZSEnuC #CSR #tech4good #AXSChat |

| 21st Century Digital Craftsmanship @cldbrand “For such technologies to be successful, though, they must be adopted into regular use. Unfortunately, studies have shown that 35–50% of all assistive devices are abandoned after purchase.” SA #axschat #disruption #innovation |
| Debra Ruh @debraruh RT @knowbility: A1.2 This aspect of the competition allows for non-profit organizations all over the world to receive beautifully designed, accessible websites to reach more people within their local communities. #AXSChat #A11Y #accessibility |
| Peter Armstrong @PeterBArmstrong @debraruh @AccessibleMedia We're really excited about the videos too. They will be available in English and French, along with a few other accessibility projects we're launching in the new year. Thanks for all of your support! #AXSChat |

| William Shu 📱⚽️🖖 @william_shu Hi and welcome to #axschat @sharrush and @knowbility 👋 As well as the usual suspects @debraruh, @NeilMilliken and @akwyz 👩🎨👨🎤👨💻 |
| 21st Century Digital Craftsmanship @cldbrand @BarclaysAccess More nimble perhaps? Strategic plan and strategic action all at once? #axschat |
| Debra Ruh @debraruh @knowbility I love this, international work can have a positive impact on local communities as well! #AXSChat |
| 21st Century Digital Craftsmanship @cldbrand A2 Always start with appealing to the bottom line. “If you’re compliant with accessibility mandates, you’re less likely to be sued.” #axschat |
| Debra Ruh @debraruh RT @AXSChat: |
 | Meryl Evans, CPACC @merylkevans 5 Common Misconceptions About Web #Accessibility: https://t.co/1QZpoOiLkh #a11y #axschat https://t.co/vwT4OcRueO |
| Debra Ruh @debraruh @PeterBArmstrong @AccessibleMedia Multiple languages is awesome! #AXSChat |
| 21st Century Digital Craftsmanship @cldbrand A2 There is a factor that seems below the radar which is that more orgs will offer less online if it means fewer costs related to accessibility. Berkeley removed 20,000 videos, Starbucks has removed their online store (not from lack of access as far as I know) #axschat |
| Rosemary Musachio @RoseMusachio 2. Blog and trend it on #a11y and #inclusion provide tremendous benefits for businesses and universities including fewer turnarounds and dropout, increased productivity and positive recognition, new perspectives. #axschat |
| Jayne Cravens Coyote Communications @jcravens42 @Unuhinuii @AXSChat @knowbility Oh, an #AXSChat team for #OpenAIR2018 would be AWESOMESAUCE. Would love to see it happen! You would have to get matching monogrammed t-shirts, of course 😎.... https://t.co/QD3KZSEnuC |

| Cobuild Lab @cobuildlab RT DestekSolutions: A1 The offer of or opportunity to receive support to produce a fully accessible website will make any organisation more accessible nationally and internationally, ability to network and be involcd whether it be nationally of internationally #AXSChat |
| Cobuild Lab @cobuildlab DestekSolutions Agreed, we need to work more internationally! #AXSChat |
 | Sharron Rush @sharrush @NeilMilliken A1 exactly! and the context is fun and friendly competition rather than the scarier arena of testing for legal compliance. A1 #AXSchat |

| Debra Ruh @debraruh @cldbrand It is a good thing to know for sure too, hate to get sued for a rule you didn't know you were breaking! #AXSChat |
| Kevin Ruh @KevinRuhGlobal A2 We need to encourage more collaboration all around, we all benefit from working together with others for a cannon goal, we need to stand united! #axschat |
| Debra Ruh @debraruh A2 Universities & corporations working together is a great way to get more job placement & is good for all involved, we should encourage these types of collaborations #a11y #tweetchat #edu #inclusion #AXSChat |
| Nabil Eid @nabileid1 A2 Support setting up of disability units in universities to enable inclusion of #PWD into the mainstream; unifying efforts, innovations, and #accessibility solutions, with focus on #accessible/ education, workplaces, public places, transport etc. #AXSChat |

| Knowbility @knowbility A2.1 The OpenAIR competition illustrates that web #accessibility does not have to be a scary or daunting thing! #AXSChat |
| Richard Streitz @StreitzAbility A great point Nabil, and one that many great folks global are trying to work out! #ILO #axschat https://t.co/vfavXiJOwP |
| Nabil Eid @nabileid1 A2 Approach to reach various stakeholder groups through many platforms- from accessible web to social media, conferences, individuals, organizations, strategic planning, set up #ICT #accessibility center of disability services in universities to facilitate services #AXSChat |

| Debra Ruh @debraruh RT @DestekSolutions: |
| Knowbility @knowbility A2.2 The heart of this competition is not only to promote #accessibility tools and techniques to make the Internet a more inclusive place, but also to highlight that web accessibility can be a fun and important inclusion effort, for which all should be advocates for. #AXSChat |
| Sharron Rush @sharrush @debraruh A1 what a great point and too often overlooked, how much#accessibility design thinking benefits all users #AXSchat |
| Nabil Eid @nabileid1 RT @StreitzAbility: A great point Nabil, and one that many great folks global are trying to work out! #ILO #axschat https://t.co/vfavXiJOwP |
| Missy Richmond @StargardtEyes @Specodi Omg!!!! *happy squeals of how cute your dog it* Sooo adorable! 🐾🐾❣️ #axschat |
| Debra Ruh @debraruh @KevinRuhGlobal Good point, collaboration is key #AXSChat |
| Knowbility @knowbility A2.3 Taking the scare out of web #accessibility through this competition is how we hope to encourage universities, corporations and Texas State Agencies to support this right to web inclusion for all people. #AXSChat |
| 21st Century Digital Craftsmanship @cldbrand RT @debraruh: @cldbrand It is a good thing to know for sure too, hate to get sued for a rule you didn't know you were breaking! #AXSChat |
| Jayne Cravens Coyote Communications @jcravens42 @AXSChat I don't limit my talk re: #inclusion #einclusion #disabilities to chats or programs specifically about such. If a university or company or any org talks to me about *anything*, they are going to get a push from me re: #accessible design. #a11y #AXSChat #OpenAIR2018 |
| Nabil Eid @nabileid1 A2 Set up of enacting law for providing access to info to PWD at universities, by formulating the national policies, by financing libraries, learning centers, ICT #accessibility and #AT lab. Establishing special cells for #PWD and providing finance and support. #AXSChat |

| Peter Armstrong @PeterBArmstrong @museumDCN @AccessibleMedia Will do. Thanks for your support of AMI and spreading the good word about social media accessibility. #AXSChat |
| Sharron Rush @sharrush @cldbrand @jcravens42 @AXSChat @knowbility Designers generally participate as part of the development teams. Thanks for pointing out we should make that more clear #AXSchat |
| Nabil Eid @nabileid1 A2 Development of Free/Open Source software, accessible websites, development of e-Repository, staff & student training, promotion through research/seminars, collaboration and net-working, union catalogue of accessible material and physical access to university building #AXSChat |
| 21st Century Digital Craftsmanship @cldbrand “US is so focused on compliance that we’re not innovating.” #axschat |

| David Pérez Rueda @Depcr A2 I think involvement comes as a consequence of raising awareness if we work hard to raise awareness we will be able, to not only get more people involved but to get those who have worked the recognition they deserve. #axschat |
| Atos IUX #️⃣ @Atos_IUX RT @NeilMilliken: |
 | Juan Rico @j_rico_ A1 Hackathons are great opportunities to show individual and groups potential in a short time. Pick the right challenge helps a lot to boost specific topics #a11y for instance and attitudes #axschat |
| 21st Century Digital Craftsmanship @cldbrand @StreitzAbility Was that punintended? #axschat |
| Nabil Eid @nabileid1 A2 The accessibility of universities depends on the perspective adopted to assess SwDs & deliver support. We need perspective requires integrated strategies that enlarge #PWD ability to deliver services & support, to cope with #diversity/#inclusion within the community #AXSChat |
| Sharron Rush @sharrush @cobuild4geeks so true! #AXSchat |
| Jayne Cravens Coyote Communications @jcravens42 @knowbility I think that's key - the #OpenAIR2018 competition is FUN. It's energizing. Doesn't feel like a training. Doesn't feel intimidating. & through that, participants from universities, corporations get energized about #accessibility. #AXSChat |

| Cobuild Lab @cobuildlab RT DestekSolutions: A2 They have to, to gain knowledge about what the customer wants or needs and how best to provide and produce a successful solutions #AXSChat |
| Cobuild Lab @cobuildlab KevinRuhGlobal Good point, collaboration is key #AXSChat |
| Juan Rico @j_rico_ A3 this will help to increase the awareness, identify the impact and facilitate the integration into common development work #axschat |
| 21st Century Digital Craftsmanship @cldbrand Maybe designathons could precede or complement hackathons… #axschat |
| Debra Ruh @debraruh RT @j_rico_: A1 Hackathons are great opportunities to show individual and groups potential in a short time. Pick the right challenge helps a lot to boost specific topics #a11y for instance and attitudes #axschat |
| Peter Armstrong @PeterBArmstrong A1 #hackathons like #OpenAIR provide the perfect environment for collaboration. Experts and beginners can learn about international accessibility standards and best practices. It pairs devs who want to help with non-profits who need help to achieve a greater good. #AXSChat |
| 21st Century Digital Craftsmanship @cldbrand A2 There is a factor that is below the radar which is that more orgs will offer less online if it means fewer costs related to accessibility. Berkeley removed 20,000 videos, Starbucks has removed their online store (not from lack of access as far as I know) #axschat |
| Nabil Eid @nabileid1 A3 #Designers & #Technologists must be aware the real opportunity lies in the emerging #UD #A11Y movement. Well-designed products, services & environments using #UD principles not only serve of #PWD, but are more broadly useful, and positively impact the wider population #AXSChat |
| Debra Ruh @debraruh @j_rico_ Very true! #AXSChat |
| 21st Century Digital Craftsmanship @cldbrand A3 Maybe. But to what end? Orgs still need to be receptive to implementation and deployment. #axschat |
| Rosemary Musachio @RoseMusachio 3. framing #a11y as a design aspect does make it more attractive to businesses because it's not special or accommodating; it's presented as it's for everybody. However, they shouldn't ignore it's a mandatory design aspect. #axschat |
| Nabil Eid @nabileid1 RT @PeterBArmstrong: A1 #hackathons like #OpenAIR provide the perfect environment for collaboration. Experts and beginners can learn about international accessibility standards and best practices. It pairs devs who want to help with non-profits who need help to achieve a greater good. #AXSChat |
| Debra Ruh @debraruh @lkinto @CBSenseAbility Always great to hear that brands are receptive! #AXSChat |

| Nabil Eid @nabileid1 A3 #OpenAIR is a great initiative as an national/international group of designers, developers, and advisers who focus on a common mission: Improving user experience of community, accessible websites, Apps, products, they addresses #A11Y issue, making accessible by design #AXSChat |

| 21st Century Digital Craftsmanship @cldbrand “I strongly take issue with the idea that accessibility gets in the way of innovation.” So how does one address when web/digital accessibility standards get in the way of innovation? In either case it’s not the tech that’s a problem, it’s a mindset. #axschat #innovation |
| David Pérez Rueda @Depcr A3. Designers love a challenge and when faced with universal design they tend to get excited I bet it can bring great results. #AXSChat |
| Jayne Cravens Coyote Communications @jcravens42 @AXSChat Definitely. I've seen it, heard it from participants.

| Peter Armstrong @PeterBArmstrong A3 Any passionate professional likes a challenge so framing web #accessibility as design challenge can create healthy competition and incentive for developers. The same applies to video production and I've seen many diverse professionals embrace art of video description. #AXSChat |
| 21st Century Digital Craftsmanship @cldbrand @BarclaysAccess It is also possible to create accessibility solutions that integrate facets of multiple, established paradigms to create new accessibility hybrids. #axschat https://t.co/8U99I6CcdZ |

| Knowbility @knowbility A4.1 Yes! Not only do the developer teams build an accessible site for their respective NPOs by the end of the competition, but throughout the competition, the developer teams work closely with their NPOs to ensure understanding of the site’s functionality. #AXSChat |

| Debra Ruh @debraruh RT @NeilMilliken: |
| 21st Century Digital Craftsmanship @cldbrand A4 Absolutely. Knowing nothing about non-profits (to be clear), I would still venture a guess that they need and welcome competent assistance with many topics related to their operations, mission and vision. #axschat |
| Jayne Cravens Coyote Communications @jcravens42 @AXSChat It can! But often, only as long as staff that was involved in #OpenAIR is at that nonprofit, NGO, charity, etc. When that staff leaves, advocacy re: #accessibility & #inclusion often goes with them. We need to get nonprofit & charity associations as ongoing advocates. #AXSChat |
| Knowbility @knowbility A4.2 Once the competition ends, NPOs also have the option to receive additional training from @Knowbility IT experts on how to maintain their site moving forward. #AXSChat #sustainability |
 | Jillian Fortin @notahickie A3.3 It's easy for someone new to #a11y to automatically think about compliance, regulations, etc. But #accessibility has ALWAYS been a design challenge, & participating in #OpenAIR teaches teams how we can be inclusive if our design system & process makes it a priority #AXSChat |

 | NosWhyNot? @NosWhyNot Hello everyone! #axschat sorry for the delay, I just came from a trip |
| 21st Century Digital Craftsmanship @cldbrand A5 It’s only about compliance and risk. In the beginning. If they do it right and ROI comes along w compliance perhaps the light begins to shine and a real commitment to innovation can occur. #axschat |
| Peter Armstrong @PeterBArmstrong @BarclaysAccess I love that model. Help and reward your colleagues who are working hard to help your clients. 👏👏👏 #AXSChat |
| Rosemary Musachio @RoseMusachio 5. #a11y has to be about compliance and preventing legal risk. Otherwise, many companies wouldn't and won't weave it in their business fabric. Once they integrate it, they are pleasantly surprised with how exciting ideas come of it. #axschat |
| 21st Century Digital Craftsmanship @cldbrand A5 I know a reputable accessibility company that mostly specializes in removing physical barriers for ADA compliance. I have learned from them that most orgs have a variety of compliance issues on their plate and they only want the minimum to comply. #axschat |

| Knowbility @knowbility A5.2 @Knowbility doesn't simply want companies to view #accessibility from a compliance & risk standpoint, but from a good business practice & creative/innovative standpoint as well.

| Peter Armstrong @PeterBArmstrong @Unuhinuii @knowbility @BlindFilmCritic An audio/video description competition is such a good idea, especially for students. We've discussed a similar idea at AMI. Oh, and every event is better when @BlindFilmCritic is there! https://t.co/OVGDMnvOM6 #AXSChat |

| Debra Ruh @debraruh RT @nabileid1: A1 Addressing all national & International standards via local communities, developers, NGOs, INGOs, universities about #accessibility awareness and provide a strong basis for the development of national & international regulation, to learn about #A11Y and participate #AXSChat |
| Shatha Al Maskiry شذا @shathamaskiry RT @Davidperezcr91: A1 Hackathons provide the perfect scenario for innovation, bringing together experts and community with a clear goal, they are one of the best ideas to incentivize innovation and progress in a long time. #axschat |
| William Shu 📱⚽️🖖 @william_shu I am SO easily distracted I bet I'm the last one on #AXSChat I'll turn the lights off before I go. 🔦 |
| Shatha Al Maskiry شذا @shathamaskiry RT @cldbrand: “I strongly take issue with the idea that accessibility gets in the way of innovation.” So how does one address when web/digital accessibility standards get in the way of innovation? In either case it’s not the tech that’s a problem, it’s a mindset. #axschat #innovation |
| Jeanine Kay Lineback @jlineback RT @knowbility: A3.1: A3.1: Competition inspires creativity, and we have learned from past AIR developer team participants that is this form of competition that makes #OpenAIR an exciting and attractive web #accessibility challenge! #AXSChat #A11Y |
 | Amer kh @amerame14632785 RT @debraruh: A6 I have seen many #HackAThons that have produced some amazing innovations, so I know these are useful! #AXSChat |
| Jeanine Kay Lineback @jlineback RT @knowbility: A2 Students who learn about inclusive design at the same time they are learning about web dev/design, UX, etc. have a huge advantage because of the skills they take with them into the workplace in the future. They become a valuable asset AND an advocate! #axschat |

| Richard Streitz @StreitzAbility RT @ainehillbilly: @akwyz It’s a big problem - I see it with orgs trying to do campaigning too & lacking digi skills to make things more impactful #AXSChat |
| William Shu 📱⚽️🖖 @william_shu A5 Yes. #catchingup #quickanswers 😛 #AXSChat |
| Amer kh @amerame14632785 RT @debraruh: A5 Innovation benefits are what its all about, compelling should be something you consider as well at all times, but we need to think of how it helps people not just as a way of covering ourselves from liability #AXSChat |
