[community] Community Meeting ( Nov 22 ): The Israeli equal rights for people with disabilities law, its background and regulations

[Obara, Justin]

Today’s meeting was quite informative. As is our current custom, we’ve attempted to take notes<https://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/Community+Meeting+Notes+%28Nov+22%2C+2017%29+-+The+israeli+equal+rights+for+people+with+disabilities+law%2C+its+background+and+regulations>  but we also hope to post the slides on the wiki in the future. Our guest, Zvia Admon has also offered to be reachable by e-mail ( zviadmon at gmail.com<mailto:zviadmon at gmail.com> ) for those that have further questions.

Thanks to all those who participated and to Zvia Admon for coming in to talk with us.

Thanks
Justin
