Chúc sức khỏe, Phúc From: Larry Campbell Overbrook-Nippon Network on Educational Technology (ONNET
TO: ON-NET Regional Advisory Committee Members ON-NET Partner Organizations Other organizations interested in this initiative FROM: Larry Campbell, Project Director Overbrook-Nippon Network on Educational Technology (ON-NET) DATE August 1, 2007 RE: The new ON-NET Technical Initiative Group For the past few years ON-NET has been trying to improve capacity within Southeast Asia to do scripting of the Jaws screenreader software. This area is particularly important as we strive to develop open employment opportunities for blind individuals that will allow them to work in jobs that may require the use of proprietary software that will not work with Jaws without a “scripting intervention”. Our good friend and colleague Victor Tsaran got work started in this area a few years back. We then were able to send two advanced level users, one from the Philippines and the other from Vietnam, to Hamburg, Germany during the summer of 2005 to work and study with a technical team from Freedom Scientific. Subsequent to these activities two on-line courses have been conducted and recently a group of 8 very motivated Jaws scripting students met for two weeks in Ho Chi Minh City to both improve their skill and knowledge and to discuss a longer term plan for how ON-NET and others could move this important aspect of access technology for the blind forward in Southeast Asia. I am pasting in below a document that was developed by the group meeting in Vietnam for your information and review. ON-NET believes that for the foreseeable future improving and expanding capacity to do Jaws scripting will be very important, particularly as it relates to securing employment opportunities for blind computer users. I am writing to you today to call to your attention this new ON-NET Technical Initiative Group and to invite your organization to become an active member of this initiative by nominating qualified individuals to participate in the work of this group. We are asking all organizations that wish to participate in this new effort to contribute US$200 per year to the work of the group. Rather than having to arrange for the transfer of this small sum to a central location we will ask each organization that wishes to be part of this initiative to make that US$200 annual contribution by contributing this amount to the travel costs of their staff who participate in what we anticipate to be periodic regional or sub-regional training programs. I encourage you to give this request serious consideration. If your organization wishes to participate I would ask you to inform Mr. Dang Hoai Phuc,<webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> who has agreed to be the first project coordinator for this new effort. Mr. Phuc and/or Mr. Silatul Rahim Bin Dahman, Assistant Project Coordinator, will then be in contact with you to discuss your organizations needs and the most appropriate person(s) to represent your organization. Thanks for giving serious thought to this request. The ON-NET Technical Initiative Group will accept organizational applications until September 15, 2007, so please contact Mr. Phuc immediately if your organization wishes to be involved in this effort. Attached please find a handbook giving more information on this. __________ NOD32 2430 (20070731) Information __________ This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. http://www.eset.com
