This sounds like a wonderful idea, this is exactly the kind of advocacy projects we should be doing. I would suggest we first look at exactly what needs to be produced, then estimate actual costs. > Putting cost aside for the stand for the moment, I need to: > > * get a loan of at least one laptop / desktop for the duration I'm sure a few machines shouldn't be too difficult to obtain for a few days. > * a supply of the then current distributions > * an installation guide to Ubuntu with Assistive Technologies activated, in > printed, braille and audio formats <SNIP> There is _some_ documentation already written [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Accessibility/doc]. I'm sure we could work with ubuntu-accessibility to produce the necessary documentation, as i'm sure that team knows requirements better than most. I wouldn't imagine producing braille format and auto dictation (via Audio-CD) would be too difficult. It's certainly something I can see being mutually beneficial to the ubuntu-accessibility team aswell. Do you happen to know how much it costs to register, to have a stand, at this event? Once we have a compiled list of costs, we can look into potential fund-raising to cover the costs associated. Kind Regards, Dave Walker
