Hello list,
It was a year ago today (31st December) that I created this list while I
waited for my first Raspberry Pi to drop through the letter box.
The list was created because while I was waiting to get my mits on the
little board I could not find answers to some of the questions I had
which were relevant to me as a blind user. Questions like 'is there an
SSH server running out-of-the-box' and 'what are all these sockets and
spikey pins'.
A year on my knowledge of Linux has increased by an order of magnitude
and several of us have had some fun trying to get some accessibility
tools running on the Pi.
We have the Accessible Arch Linux image on the web site. This has the
SpeakUp screen-reader and Emacspeak running on it.
Unfortunately their continues to be problems with firmware changes and
latency issues meaning we have had to black-list kernel updates, and the
Accessible Arch image will currently not boot on a Pi board with a Hynix
RAM chip.
But I'm working on fixing that, if I can.
We have several new joiners since Christmas day so I guess Santa may
have been carrying a few Raspberry Pi boards on his sleigh.
The list is very quiet. This means either that nobody is doing anything
with their Pi, or they are not sharing what they are doing.
So come on, what are you all up to?
Mike
