Back in the summer of 2014 I started going to the Surrey Linux User Group.
I was asked to give a short presentation about Linux accessibility and how, although I am totally blind, I still write code and muck about with Linux.
I was then asked to give the same presentation at the Portsmouth LUG.
This time I made it more comprehensive and took more kit.
So I take this opportunity to give my version of the "What's in my bag" shows that some folks have been doing. As I am unemployed, like a lot of blind folks, I have been unable to justify this before now because I don't lug an interesting collection of stuff to and from work.
Here's a simple bullet list about the crate and it's contents:
Here's what I demonstrated with two of the laptops:
The second Latitude was with me so I could get some sighted help with BIOS settings.
My thanks have to go to Tony Wood for the lift to and from both of these accessibility presentations. I could not have done either, especially the Portsmouth one without his help.
Thanks also to Lisi, the coordinator of the Portsmouth LUG and to the folks of that LUG for their enthusiasm.
