Universal access logoAs we mention, the GNOME Accessibility project develops and fosters compelling free open source accessibility solutions for graphical user interfaces. This includes collaboration with other organizations to make accessible design a more global and cross desktop value. On this page, you will find links to some of the other organizations we collaborate with.

  • AEGIS - a €12.6m investment in accessibility, with the vast majority of it focused on open source solutions.

  • Open A11y - First chartered in 2004 as the Free Standards Group Accessibility Workgroup (FSGA), the Open Accessibility (A11y) Group functions today within the Linux Foundation to establish free and open standards that enable comprehensive universal access to various computing platforms, applications, and services. The AT-SPI on D-Bus work is being organized and documented by the Open Accessibility Group, for example.

  • Mozilla Accessibility Project - the Mozilla project to bring leading edge accessibility to the browser.
