The challenges of working in a normal computing environment with a new disability and with Open Source would be the essence of the talk. It will provide an insight into the various issues that challenged users will encounter with computers on a day-to-day basis.
The talk will dwell further into the available open source tools that aid accessibility – with specific focus on GNOME accessibility.
The talk will conclude with a brief view of the work in progress and all that needs to be done to make GNOME fully accessible.
The entire talk will be supported by a GNOME accessibility Demo. |
