It would really boost the profile of Ubuntu and it's accessibility functionality. I think this would be well worth the work. <div><div> On 04/10/2007, Dave Walker <<a href="mailto:DaveWalker@ubuntu.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">DaveWalker@ubuntu.com</a>> wrote:</div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div> Hi Ian, On Thu, 2007-10-04 at 18:14 +0100, Ian Pascoe wrote: > Hi y'all > > Before I ask for Popey's help to put this onto his Ideas Pool, I thought I'd > run it by the list and see what your feed back was. > > Every year the Queen Alexandra College for the Blind in Birmingham runs an > exhibition called Sight Village, which is the "leading" technology showcase > for the bisually impaired and associated support groups throughout Europe - > these groups being both Government bodies and local / national / > international charities. > <SNIP> This sounds like a wonderful idea, this is exactly the kind of advocacy projects we should be doing.

I wouldn't imagine producing braille format and auto dictation (via Audio-CD) would be too difficult.  It's certainly something I can see being mutually beneficial to the ubuntu-accessibility team aswell. Do you happen to know how much it costs to register, to have a stand, at this event? Once we have a compiled list of costs, we can look into potential fund-raising to cover the costs associated.
