CAB in the UK do a similar thing and for a similar purpose here. British Computer Association of the Blind; do a search, I can't remember their url now. Membership would be of interest, not sure how much time I'd have to do more. I do do tech support at a local university and have done programming and writing of various sorts for years. Thanks, RobH. ----- Original Message ----- From: "John G. Heim" <jheim@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Linux for blind general discussion" <blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, January 25, 2009 8:06 PM Subject: International Association of Visually Impaired ComputerProfessionals All, I would like to inform you of the creation of a new organization tentatively called The International Association of Visually Impaired Computer Professionals. The purpose of the organization is threefold: 1. To serve as a source for information on adaptive techniques for visually impaired computer professionals. 2. To serve as a source for social networking for visually impaired computer professionals. 3. To serve as an advocate for visually impaired computer professionals. A Board of Directors for this organization is being formed now. Anyone interested in being on the board should contact me as soon as possible at jheim@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx We are in the process of establishing tax exempt status for our group under the laws of the United States. However, members of the Board of Directors need not be Americans. In fact, we'd prefer to have an international Board of Directors. Please direct questions to me at jheim@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx And please feel free to forward this message to anyone who might be interested. _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- No virus found in this incoming message.
