Vice President of the Swiss Confederation visits our WSIS Stand
We just got visited by Moritz Leuenberger, who is the Vice President of the Swiss Confederation 2005.
Mr. Leuenberger first greeted “this famous dog, Leo” and laughed at the badge he was wearing. After also introducing himself to me, he noticed that on the Screen Magnifying Demo Unit, his page was being displayed; then he sat down next to me and got an introduction to the basics of accessibility and technology for the blind. We also visited his web page and discovered together that it was quite accessible already, but that the “Spacer” Graphics had to be either re-labelled or untagged; we also took a glance at his “Speeches” page, noticing that the designers missed to label the different language contents with their appropriate Language Tags.
Before leaving, he asked about older people and their ability to still leanr braile writing; then, he thanked me for visiting his web site, shook hands again and kind of was forced to move on 
His visit took about 20 minutes and was definitely longer than the one from Samuel Schmid the other day. I wanted to provide an MP3 of it, but since my Recorder knows hot to suck - well, guess I don’t have to say more. But there should be a video of it within like seven years online somehow somewhere 
Mr. Leuenberger is obviously very interested in Accessibility issues. He already did write a preface to a study on accessibility a time ago; good to know that there are highest people around thinking of the matter…
We are expecting more people to show up during the day, so I will keep you posted.
