I received 3 replies to my comments on disability access at SCaLE 7. So, I though I should give a brief introduction of myself. I am still a beginner at open source, but trying to learn. I have Ubuntu, and I am using Evolution for e-mail. I contracted polio in 1957, and use a manual wheelchair now. I am 1 of the founding members of the Disabilities Caucus of the California Democratic Party; however, I am critical of my own political colleagues, and I welcome help from anybody who is interested in helping disabled people. I live in Los Angeles, and have attended meetings at the San Gabriel Valley Linux Users Group (SGVLUG.) Although my computer skills are still at a low level right now, I do have an active interest in using technology to help disabled people "live as an integrated member of the community at large" (that's legislative phrasing.) I do feel I have experience as a "facilitator" and as a "legislative researcher." My ISP is Los Angeles Free Net, which unfortunately sometimes has problems with some other ISPs, and some open source software. I just have to live with the kinks until I get things worked out. My contact information is also at William D. Zuke, P.O. Box 574, Montrose, CA 91021-0574; phone (323) 257-7958 (answering machine on 24 hours a day.) This information is just to establish contact. More later.
