Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT)?

[Samuel Thibault <sthibault@debian.org>]

Hello,

As seen on #debian-a11y:

larjona: we at press@ have received an email asking if Debian has Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) available. VPAT is part of Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and amended by the Workforce Investment Act of 1998. Section 508 requires federal agencies to make their ICT such as technology, online training and websites accessible for everyone.

larjona: I have searched in the internet and saw that Ubuntu has  https://ubuntu.com/blog/ubuntu-desktop-accessibility-read-our-vpat-conformance-report

I don't know about VPAT, but since Ubuntu has one, I guess Debian can
have one, it'd be a matter of somebody having a look at it.

Any volunteer to have a look at what that is about?

Samuel
