I'll be there, most likely, presenting on the remote access bridge again and
a systemic overall approach to accessibility in high performance, remote
computing..
Need to submit the proposal this evening.
Take care,
Sina

Jamal,
I'd be interested in collaborating. I usually go to the conference and have
presented there before. I'm also submiting a proposal for the regular
sessions on science and math accessibility.

Subject: Sharing CSUN conference info and seeking collabarators
As you may know, the largest international conference on technology and
disability is held annually at California State University in the Los
Angeles area. I was recently reminded that the deadline for proposing
presentations is tomorrow, September 21. I know that talented people on
this list, including Sina, CDH, and others, are familiar with this process.
For anyone else who might be interested, I am pasting relevant information
below. I suggest submitting a proposal if you are considering
participating, even if you are not yet sure you can make it there
(naturally, try to cancel with adequate notice if that becomes necessary).
I intend to submit a couple of proposals this year and would like to hear
from anyone interested in collaborating. One idea is a preconference
session called "Dueling Operating Systems." It would be analagous to ones
held in the past called Dueling Windows or Dueling Scanners. Expert screen
reader users of Windows, Linux, and the Mac would be presented with tasks to
accomplish in front of an audience and panel of judges.
A second idea is called "Nonvisual Software Development." A panel of blind
programmers would discuss and show the tools they use with various languages
and applications.

Overview of Call for Papers
The 23rd annual International Technology and Persons with Disabilities
Conference invites submissions of papers for this conference to be held
March 10 15, 2008 at the Los Angeles Airport Marriott and Renaissance
Montura hotels. The CSUN conference is the worlds longest-running and
largest conference of its kind on the topic of assistive technology and the
positive impact on persons with disabilities. The conference draws more than
4,500 persons annually who attend sessions, visit the exhibit halls, and
participate in affiliate meetings and informal gatherings.
A wide variety of submissions are encouraged in the topic areas outlined
below. The list is suggestive of the types of papers for consideration, but
by no means restrictive to these specific areas. Reviewers will be looking
for proposals in the general domains of new concepts concerning hardware and
software, adaptive devices, access to technology, training programs, results
of research, and overall best-practices in any area of assistive technology.
The conference strives to present a best-practices approach for the
education of students, professionals and consumers involved with the many
aspects of technology and disability. Your experience, gained through
practical applications and/or research, is vital to the promotion of
effective assistive technology practices on a widespread basis.
General Session presentations are 30 or 60 minutes in length and are
scheduled for Wednesday, March 12, Thursday, March 13, Friday, March 14, and
Saturday, March 15. In submitting a paper for consideration, speakers agree
that their paper may be scheduled at any time, on any of these days, at the
discretion of the conference management.
Paper submissions are due Friday, September 21, 2007
