<p>Hi Jessica,</p>
<p>thanks for the proposal, I'd be interested in joining a
discussion on accessibility and GIS (with a focus on OSM). A
couple of years ago we <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3370705">presented the
results</a> of an exercise in using OSM for planning urban
accessibility in Padua (Italy) an I'd like to see and talk about
other similar experiences.</p>
<p>Best,</p>
<p>Ale<br>
</p>

accessibility and usability consultant at AbilityNet, a UK
tech charity, and I also volunteer separately for the
Missing Maps project/Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team. I’ve
been on this list for a while and wondered if there would be
any interest in a virtual meetup for people working at the
intersection of accessibility and GIS?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

(AbilityNet) have our annual accessibility and inclusive
design conference coming up in November,
<a href="https://abilitynet.org.uk/techsharepro-2021"

be the opportunity to host something like a networking
session at this if this is of interest. (We would not let
the ticket price be a barrier to anyone wishing to attend.)
I haven’t come across much in the way of events for people
working at the intersection of accessibility and maps, but
do fill me in if I have missed them.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
