Many of us have many questions and curiosities about the linux and the access technology running on Linux. The operating system along with many application programmes on Linux are open source and thus available free of cost to the users. Even the screen reading software like the emacspeak or gnopernicus are available free of cost. The open source way of working makes it more available and customizable for different languages and applications., , To make a serious attempt to understand and learn the installation, operating and understanding the capabilities of Linux based solutions for persons with blindness, National Association for the blind is organizing a, two day training session on November 10 - 11, 2006., , andlt;brandgt;andlt;brandgt;

NAB Delhi would be happy to provide basic infrastructure and food, teacoffee for all participants of the session., , Mr. KrishnaKant has experience in installation of the linux with emacspeak without any seeing assistance and he will be sharing his experience with all the participants. Mr. Arun Mehta will also be taking some sessions in exploring using of emacspeak for basic work processing and document formatting, e-mail, web browsing, calendar, appointments, addressbook etc., , andlt;brandgt;andlt;brandgt;

This training will be more like the cooperative learning programme facilitated by Mr. Arun Mehta and Mr. KrishnaKant and supported by Dr. T.V. Raman and the faculty of NAB Delhi. Thus at this stage persons with extensive experience and knowledge of computer operation, installations and, configurations may participate and take benefit of this session. As a result of this programme we would be able to develop more training programmes for non-geeks and beginners.
