Dear Sir/Madam,
It gives us, at CDAC, Mumbai, immense pleasure to inform you that CDAC,
Mumbai is organising two workshops titled “National Workshop on FOSS
Desktop Accessibility” & 'National Workshop on FOSS Adoption in
Education” during August 26-27, 2011 as a part of National Resource
Centre for Free/Open Source software (NRCFOSS) – Phase II initiative.
“National Workshop on FOSS Desktop Accessibility” on August 26, 211
will focus on exploring the current trends in the field of
accessibility particularly in regard to FOSS. As you may be aware a
large section of the society comprising people with different kinds of
disabilities finds it difficult to use ICT in the same way as normal
people do for fulfilling different purposes. It is very much required
to provide such people with assistive technologies that make their
interaction with computers more user-friendly and accessible. This
workshop intends to work as a platform to encourage the use of FOSS
tools and techniques in creating assistive technologies that are free-
of-cost, available to all, easily maintainable etc. for such a large
portion of population in country like India. The workshop will also
like to leverage the experiences of all stakeholders to identify and
address the issues of those areas of accessibility that are still
untouched.
Similarly, “National Workshop on FOSS Adoption in Education”, on August
27, 2011 is intended to explore the benefits, role, developments of
technology, specifically FOSS, in education. FOSS provides softwares
that are free of cost, easily maintainable, community support,
customizability freedom, etc. Various FOSS tools in education will be
demonstrated in the workshop. The participants will also get to
experience the work of C-DAC Mumbai in promoting technology/FOSS in
education. The workshop will provide an opportunity to interact with
participants from different organizations and industry practitioners.
The workshop will involve keynote and invited lectures by distinguished
researchers and/or professionals. We take this opportunity to extend
you an invitation for participation in the above said workshops.
Looking forward to see you or your representative at the event.
