The tribe and the challenge
Perhaps the most evocative idea to come out of CSUN 2011 was “the tribe”. John Foliot seemed to capture the CSUN zeitgeist when he described the global accessibility community as a tribe, drawn together by a shared ambition to make the web a truly inclusive place.
The Tribe was a theme that ran through many conversations and into sessions like the Web accessibility game plan. The idea seemed to gather quiet momentum throughout the week, and John issued a challenge to everyone who wants to be part of it:
Get out there, create, innovate, captivate and get a little disruptive. We have each other’s backs, let’s see what we can achieve together!
