Peter,
I can't believe it. Bookshare is already 3 employees short and the lack is causing problems with books getting approved and into the collection, and there are so many technical things that need to be worked on and improved.
We here certainly will miss your sense of humor. I hope you will find a way to come to CSUN, and I also wish you good luck in finding another position quickly.

Hey all, I thought I'd stick in my two cents before the spin machine takes over. After a 15 year association with Benetech and Arkenstone before it, I have resigned my position as Technical Projects Associate with the Benetech Initiative. The lack of sponsorship to go to CSUN was just one symptom in an increasingly hostile and counter-productive relationship I've had with the current senior management of Bookshare. While the immediate reaction from management was to turn off all access to my account, even my access to read books, I still believe it to be a fundamentally terrific service and one worth supporting. I believe it is current management's misunderstanding of me as a person which, undoubtedly, led to the inference that I would use my knowledge of the web site's underlying code to do damage to its content or its user records. As I've indicated, I have total support for Bookshare and the rest of Jim Fruchterman's visions. I hope that he will one day be able to find senior management worthy of them. This does not mean you won't be seeing me at conferences such as CSUN, NFB, etc. My associations in the world of Accessible Technology are long-standing and still of great interest to me. Thanks.
Peter Scialli
