Re: [AI] unjust ruling of SC
I am trying to access the detailed judgement before finalising an opinion on a review petition on the issue. Since it is a SC double bench decision, it commands a respect and weightage. One has to look at the reasoning that the bench has put forth. Therefore, review would be a viable option. If found grossly against the UNCRPD and PWD, this need to be represented and appealed by a group of organisations from the sector. -- Warm regards, Subhash Chandra Vashishth Mobile: +91 (11) 9811125521 Please don't print this e-mail unless you really need to.

Though I expressed my opinion directly to them stating that this should have been done a long time ago, I felt very happy that it happened, better late than never. It seems that they have come to know about Access India, Enable India, Eye Way --- very recently. They have asked me to provide more information in this regard and I promised to do the same to the best of my efforts. So friends, I want information about organisations, web sites, persons working for VH, low vision aids available, assistive technology and anything which could help blind persons and persons with low vision. Kindly provide me with all the information you have so that I can forward the same to them. -- G.

Re: [AI] unjust ruling of SC.
Dear list: As per this verdict of the apex court, what r we exactly qualified for? Today, on the grounds of efficiency and security, we are smartly and softly denied the promotion. Tomorrow, employment even in education sector may be denied as we may not be able to properly access the black board and physical material. Inspite of all these, private sector is already denying the employment to a disabled just because they cannot see. at this juncture, it don't even consider our capabilities. It looks at our disability first; not at our abilities. besides this, what r we capable of? Though I may not be the right person to comment on this verdict with out reading it, I understand the intention is evident That the governament may desire to deny promotions to all the disabled, visually impaired in particular. So I hope, as always, the eminent persons of this family will read it carefully and take a strong step towards preventing such mis representations from all governament departments. Actually they have to provide all the accessible technology, instead they r smartly and softly diverting the governament's attention. They are not trying to solve the problem, instead they are trying to escape from their responsibilities. Regards, Govind.

[AI] The magic of many
Date:26/07/2009 URL: http://www.thehindu.com/2009/07/26/stories/2009072655631000.htm Front Page The magic of many Sruthi Krishnan Crowdsourcing - letting others do it CHENNAI: "Those in Mumbai, slums @ Geeta Nagar destroyed in rains, help with rice/atta/tea/pulses/clothes." Recently a variant of this message kept echoing online in Twitter, the short messaging service. These messages would be tagged with #mumbairains, and anyone who wanted updates on how the city was coping with the annual monsoons - be it traffic jams, college attendance or office woes - could log in. And perhaps, wade through the water to Geeta Nagar with some hot tea. These messages were not being posted by one person, an organised group, the authorities or an institution; they came from the crowd - spread all over the world, united by a desire to help. Crowdsourcing involves taking a task and letting others do it, says Gaurav Mishra, founder and CEO, 20:20 Web Tech, a social media research and analytics firm. The crowd voluntarily took on the task of monitoring the rains. Interest was a major driver. A company may want to know how to put pictures on potato chips. There would be many people in the world who would know how to go about it. The company could ask for contributions from all of them and choose the best one for use, says Mr. Mishra, explaining how crowdsourcing worked. As these people are amateurs, the company would not need to pay as much, and the person, whose motivation is to make that advertisement rather than commercial ends, is also satisfied. So a person living in Italy could give an idea to a person in India - something made possible by the Internet. Innocentive ( www.innocentive.com ) is a crowdsourcing site based on this idea. In India, crowdsourcing as businesses is just catching up. Lattice Purple, a Delhi-based firm, has created a platform 'YouSuggest' (http://yousuggest.us) for companies to crowdsource ideas from customers. "The best of the ideas could be implemented for the product," says Arvind Nigam, one of the founders of Lattice Purple. The platform is available for use through a SaaS (software as a service) model. "This is a democratic platform for ideas," says Mr. Nigam. If the company does not implement an idea, there could be risk of a backlash. But companies could moderate discussions. Other tweaks may be needed for crowdsourcing to work in India. Myidea ( www.myidea.co.in ), started by a private cellular service provider as a platform to crowdsource ideas on Indian politics, integrated SMS. "We kept in touch with the crowd using email, SMS and Web, because we're not as "on the net" as people in the U.S. are," says Mahesh Murthy, founder of Pinstorm, a digital advertising firm that managed Myidea. Crowdsourcing could take on other forms. For instance, Amazon Mechanical Turk ( www.mturk.com ) calls itself a 'marketplace for work.' If you need to translate 10 pages in English into Telugu, you could advertise on this site. This task will be broken down and parcelled out to many people and then aggregated to provide you the translation. The photo site iStockphoto ( www.istockphoto.com ) and the T-shirt site Threadless ( www.threadless.com ) are some popular examples of sites using crowdsourcing.
