Accessibility, Usability And Interoperability

The importance of the accessibility of Web sites is widely acknowledged and in many countries there are legal requirements to ensure that Web services can be used by people with disabilities. In addition to accessibility issues, it is also important to ensure that Web sites are usable. However addressing accessibility and usability issues on their own will not necessarily ensure that Web services are interoperable. This talk will describe a holistic approach to accessibility, usability and interoperability.

BOOMBAL
The best definition of a Boombal is a party with live folk music. The partygoers indulge in pair, ring, line, and string dances such as the waltz, polka, andro, etc.

Each Boombal is preceded by a dance initiation. In just over an hour, you master a jolly ring dance or an ecstatic string dance.

Then we throw ourselves into the real Boombal. Professional folk musicians provide powerful live folk music and know how to infuse the public with this typical Boombal drive!

Boombal is well known for the pleasant atmosphere which prevails both on the dance floor and at the bar. Everyone dances with everyone else, everyone talks to everyone else. In other words: a real social event! The dances are very simple and, above all, quite funny. Thanks to the preceding dance initiation a Boombal has a very low threshold: don't hesitate to bring along all your friends
