    [michiel] Morning all!

    [dean] Any info on that @michiel? for us Buitenlanders met niet so goed Nederlands skillz.
  6. [dean] Found it - https://www.ncdt.nl/

    [dean] What’s weird to me is that it’s a Dutch site (which I’d rightly expect), but unless Gerry McGovern and Jonathan Hassell have mastered Dutch I presume they will be presenting in English… don’t see anything on the site to say what the language of the talks will be.
  9. [dean] PS “Skillz” is my favourite Dutch word. At least it would be if it was Dutch…. and a word.

    [michiel] Haha
  11. [michiel] Yeah, I don't know what the language of the talks is. One of the reason I'm not attending all sessions.
  12. [michiel] (I don't like Dutch)
  13. [michiel] Which is weird considering it's my father tongue.
  14. [dean] There is a future for us UX Accessibility folk afterall!

    [michiel] There would be if you guys showed up at role=drinks ;)

    [michiel] dean: from what I can hear most talks are in Dutch.
  17. [michiel] Presentational stuff in between is in Dutch as well.
  18. [dean] Yah, I still feel bad about that. I booked a UK trip then realised it was on the same weekend. Hope it’s not the first & last opportunity!
  19. [michiel] It most certainly isn't. Might be last time Steve is there though ;)
  20. [michiel] In all honesty, I don't expect such a large turnout every time. Regardless, we'll continue organising role=drinks stuff. We're also looking to collaborate with a couple of other meet-ups to reach more people.
  21. [michiel] You might know Eva Westerhoff.

    [michiel] She organises a designy meetup.
  23. [michiel] jkva is really ramping up the design presence at role=drinks :)

    Happy National Congress of Digital Accessibility from the Netherlands slackers! I’m currently working out of Friesland.

    [gerbenvandijk] does anyone here know of a properly accessible (and flexible) datepicker?
  27. [gerbenvandijk] (it will be displayed inline - to show events)

    [michiel] jkva: what? You are.
  29. [michiel] You're the one contacting all the peeps.

    [michiel] likes to make jkva do things because I publicly said he would.
  31. [dean] Superb. I don’t know Eva Westerhoff I’m afraid. Is it too early to talk meetup.com style meetups?
  32. [michiel] We are actually talking about using that ;)

    [elisa] I have an interesting situation that I'd like some feedback on. Working on a product where students can put in video links to share, which would essentially embed them into a page. Videos can link to pretty much anything as long it's on youtube or vimeo. It is my understanding that these videos need to be accessible, but I'm not sure how we would ever be able to enforce that.

    [michiel] Elisa: van you request the presence of subs via the api?
  35. [elisa] I'm hoping to do that, just worried about the quality of the captions that are automatically generated if no one went in to make sure they didn't read like utter crap (which is what I usually experience)
  36. zakim-robot
    @zakim-robot
    May 31 17:35
    [elisa] Not sure if that's possible via vimeo though

    [paintingemily] Is there a good semantic choice for marking up interview questions? (they would have a question, an answer and the author of that answer, possible multiple answers/authors)
  38. [paintingemily] <dl> seems like not the best choice because they aren’t definitions per say, blockquote seems not right either.

  41. [nschonni] I saw this at CSUN http://diagramcenter.org/standards-and-practices/content-model.html but it may be a little too specific to the testing/ed space
