All, I'm thinking of trying to start an organization for blind and visually impaired computer professionals. This group would have 3 purposes: 1. Serve as an umbrella group for providing technical information for blind computer professionals. 2. Provide social networking services. By social networking, I don't necessarily mean fun & games. That's okay but I was thinking more in terms of jobs. 3. Provide advocacy. For example, the group could approach vmware about making their products more accessible to the blind and visually impaired. I know the NFB has a sub-committee that attempts to address computer accessibility but their approach is geared more toward the general public. Not that there is anything wrong with suing Target, for example, but is small potatoes from my point of view. The inaccessibility of vmware, for example, directly effects my abilityto get and keep a job. I am tentatively thinking of using the name Association of Visually Impaired Computer Professionals, AVICP. What do you think?
