Welcome. OpenDirective LLP brings open development benefits to users and developers of accessibility and assistive technology, thus delivering innovative solutions to end users, their supporters, service providers and development companies. We facilitate open innovation through engagement with Open Source software, helping make companies more innovative, capable, and cost efficient and enabling open source projects to become sustainable. With a commitment to identifying software products and opportunities that are reaching the chasm between the early adopters and the early majority, OpenDirective focuses on mobile and accessibility-enabling technologies that are not necessarily developed as products in themselves, but have the potential become successful products through the application of open development..

We also organise open accessibility events with a difference. For example the recent and successful ATSummit where we brought together leaders from a wide range of accessibility companies and projects to initiate potential open development projects. This event was made possible at low cost to attendees through Mozilla providing use of their excellent London Space and The Paciello Group's generous sponsorship.

OpenDirective is led by Steve Lee and Ross Gardler, who, for more than ten years, have actively participated in various Open Source and open accessibility communities that include The Apache Software Foundation, Mozilla, Outercurve Foundation, GNOME and Ubuntu.
