Is the program ready to be brailled yet? We're starting to cut it a
bit fine with timing now, if it's to be brailled here in Perth...

I think we can get the program printed here in Braille and would be
good to have multiple copies, as I think some other might also need it.
If you still want to bring your own copy, I think James has the final
version of the program.
Cheers,
Katie

The program is almost 100% ready to be center to the printer. I can
send it to you tomorrow, if you would like.

Hello,
I'm User:Graham87 on Wikipedia, and as it says on my user page there,
I'm totally blind:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Graham87
I'll be attending Wikimania this year as one of the representatives
of
Wikimedia Australia. I'd like a braille copy of the printed
program, so
I can follow along with it like everybody else. Converting computer
files into braille is not a difficult process, but it does require
specialised (and ridiculously expensive!) equipment to emboss the
braille dots and bind the books, so braille production agencies like
people to submit material to them some time in advance (generally
about
a week). When will the program be in its final form, so it can be
sent
somewhere to be brailled? I can think of a couple of ways of doing
this:
*If the program will be ready by Tuesday week (the 27th of June), I
can
send it to my local Association for the Blind and they can braille
it at
no cost to me. The date gives them about a week's notice while I can
still pick it up (I'll be leaving on the 5th of July).
*If it'll be ready after then, could you arrange for it to be
brailled
by a place in Washington DC? The Columbia Lighthouse for the Blind
sounds like as good a place as any:

It will cost some money if it's done this way, however, but I have no
idea how much.
Thanks!
Regards, Graham
