Hello all,
my name is Vojta and I am a blind Linux user from Czech Republic. Linux
and its desktop ecosystem is open. And for me that means that I believe
it should be open also to people with various disabilities including
visual impairment.
I am working on a project which tries to achieve that. I am searching
mainly for technical help while creating live media. But any help is
appreciated (ideas, spreading the word...). If you are interested, read on.
I am a Linux user since cca 2010. It is notable to say that
accessibility is unfortunately not among top priorities of Linux
distributions.
There were several projects created usually by blind volunteers which
offered a modified version of some distribution (Ubuntu, Arch Linux).
However, since these volunteers were not directly involved in the
distribution, projects were relatively short-lived. Me and several of my
friends, most of them visually impaired as well, decided that we could
try to change it. As we are working at RH, we can cooperate closely with
upstream, with Fedora community etc. That's when the Fegora project came
to life.
I started working on this project even before I became a Redhatter. The
vision is to create a Fedora remix which will be ready to be used by
blind and visually impaired users. We managed to create a tooling which
produced bootable USB drives with preinstalled and modified version of
Fedora. We presented this system on several runs of Agora event; an
event in Brno, Czech Republic, which offers technical workshops for
visually impaired.
But this option has its limitations and we decided that we would like to
create real Fedora remix. And that means creating live media. I spent
considerable amount of time learning how to create a Fedora live media,
but I am a bit short on time and still facing some technical
obstacles... it starts being a bit tiring.
You can see my work here (Ignore the README, it is related to the
previous initiative):
https://github.com/vojtapolasek/Fegora/tree/liveimage
The file fegora.ks is the main thing.
I am searching for someone who could help me bring this to the final
stage; consult the process of live media creation and help me to test
the result.
If you are interested, please contact me off list.
Thank you very much and have a nice day.
Best regards,
Vojta
