Feature interview
Peter Korn is Oracle's Accessibility Principal – their senior
individual contributor on accessibility. He is also Technical Manager of
the AEGIS project, leading an EC-funded €12.6m investment building
accessibility into future mainstream ICT (FP7-ICT224348).
Mr. Korn co-developed and co-implemented the Java Accessibility API,
and developed the Java Access Bridge for Windows. He helped design the
open source GNOME Accessibility architecture found on most modern UNIX
and GNU/Linux systems, and consulted on accessibility support for
OpenOffice.org, Firefox, Thunderbird, and other applications. Prior to
Sun/Oracle, Peter co-developed the outSPOKEN for Windows screen reader.
Mr. Korn represented Sun/Oracle on TEITAC for the Section 508/255
refresh, co-led the OASIS ODF Accessibility subcommittee, and sits on
INCITS V2 where he is contributing to ISO 13066: defining AT-IT
interoperability standards including specifically the Java Accessibility
API.
Ofir Leitner is the architect of one of LWUIT's key features - the
HTMLComponent which allows rendering HTML within LWUIT applications and
to embed web-flows inside apps. Ofir is also responsible for LWUIT's
bidirectional and RTL support and for the accessibility work that is
being done these days in LWUIT.
