Here's a short video with another person I met at the Future Summit 09 in Melbourne. This is Alex Jones, who is Chairman of the [Deafness Forum of Australia](http://www.deafnessforum.org.au/?ref=katecarruthers.com), he's talking to us in [Auslan](http://www.auslan.org.au/?ref=katecarruthers.com) (Australian Sign Language). Alex raises the really important issue of access for all. After all, what's a great future if we call can't share in it?

What he's saying is:

> "Hi, I'm Alex Jones - chairman of the Deafness Forum of Australia. This organisation is the peak body for the deafness sector. We advocate and lobby for the rights of Deaf, hearing impaired, Deafblind people - to improve their lives in Australia. I'm here at the summit to contribute a huge factor on 'access issues' across all areas of the megatrends raised in this Summit. Access for all is the reason I'm here. Cheerios."
