Good CFP, but don't see how its related to FOSS. IMO its better to reach out to the speaker and clarify this. Also, accessibility is a side in the field which needs some more exposure.

I don't see what FOSS has to do with this. May need more context.

I recommend the speaker to tie to some FOSS tools, that would make it an ideal talk. Marking unsure till then.
