New documentation project for blind Linux users and all the others
,----[ Quote ]
| When he realized that custom documentation
| for Free Software is needed for vision-
| impaired users, Tony Baechler offered to
| launch a dedicated service. I asked Tony
| what exactly he hopes to set up and how it
| should work.
|
| [...]
|
| Stop: When I first read Tony's offer, I
| decided to contact him because I thought
| that such a good idea deserved as much
| exposure as possible. After reading this
| plan and the rationale behind it I'm even
| more convinced and also have one more
| reason to invite all readers who want to
| know more or could help in any way to
| contact Tony or visit audio.BatSupport.com,
| the website on which he will host these
| tutorials: follow Tony's guidelines and
| you'll produce audio tutorials very useful
| for all potential Linux users, not just
| those with vision problems!

Rockinâ FLOSS Manuals: The CiviCRM book sprint
,----[ Quote ]
| If you use open source software, and arenât a
| programmer, you may wonder how you can give
| back to the community that provides you with
| such marvelous tools at no-to-little cost. At
| the same time, maybe youâve run into a problem
| running some piece of open source software,
| clicked F1 or otherwise looked for some help
| in doing somethingâand found little or no help
| on offer. Thereâs a way to solve both these
| problems: Check out, and get involved with,
| the FLOSS Manuals project.

Intellectual Monopolists Scorn the Blind
,----[ Quote ]
| This, then, is the reality of "modern"
| copyright: it fails to serve huge numbers
| of people, many of whom are already
| suffering from discrimination in other
| ways.
|
| Given this situation, various
| organisations are not unreasonably trying
| to facilitate access to copyrighted works
| for those who are visually disabled with a
| new WIPO treaty that would define basic
| rights for this group. Who could object to
| such a humanitarian cause? Well, the
| publishers, of course.

USA, Canada and the EU attempt to kill treaty to protect blind people's access
to written material
,----[ Quote ]
| Right now, in Geneva, at the UN's World Intellectual Property Organization,
| history is being made. For the first time in WIPO history, the body that
| creates the world's copyright treaties is attempting to write a copyright
| treaty dedicated to protecting the interests of copyright users, not just
| copyright owners.
