Ottawa ordered to make its websites more accessible to visually impaired

OTTAWA, Dec 01 The federal government has been given 15 months to comply with the Charter of Rights by making its websites accessible to visually impaired Canadians who want to tap into the federal job bank, fill in forms and apply for federal programs online.

A Federal Court judge issued the order Monday in a ruling that concluded the government breached Donna Jodhan’s equality rights by its “system-wide failure” to provide the same services to the visually impaired as it does to those who can see. (more…)

Ustream – cover your events LIVE for free and with little effort!

Recently OncouRSS was asked by the town of Missoula, Montana to cover the US National Team trials for freestyle kayaking.  Their goal was to bring the world to their town and to this event… in hopes of attracting more paddlers, visitors and competitors in the years to come.  We did so with a laptop, a wifi access and 3 web cams.  The end result was 174,000 viewers over 4 days of competition.  The coverage allowed our client to engage moms, dads, brothers, sisters, friends, uncles … you name it… to their region and event.  Facilitating the show was Ustream.com … this quiet company has made HUGE inroads into offering free online streaming services and has subsequently created an amazing resource for those hoping to share ‘experience’.

Ustream.com is FREE.  Sign up and you get an account.  Plug in your webcam and click a big-ole Broadcast button and you’re live.  The number of viewers you can have is … wait for it… unlimited!  You can pay for the Broadcaster Pro software which allows you to switch between cameras etc., but that’s a luxury.  We chose to do so as it also added a way for us to do some character generation… post up scores, competitor names etc.  But for a festival or wedding, one camera is good enough and the sky’s the limit.  We were also able to record each heat on their server, on their dime!

The applications are impressive.  If you’re a festival manager, use this tool to show folks what they missed.  If your a musician, put on a regularly scheduled show.

Check out our broadcast  which is now recorded at www.worldkayakblogs.com/throwdown/wktv.
