[OSList] Accessibility concerns about bending down to pick up paper/pens

[Harold Shinsato via OSList]

In the many OST's I've participated in or helped open myself, I've 
encountered this complaint about having to bend over to pick up the pens 
and the papers in only two instances. Both of which were Universities. 
In both cases, the leading edge of the complaint seemed to have to do 
with women's dresses, but I also heard something about being "able" 
prejudiced.

The first University chose to put some tables outside the circle with 
some papers and markers. The second one is thinking they will wheel in a 
table after the opening into the center, which seems energetically 
disruptive.

Have others encountered this? How did you deal with it?

     Thanks!
     Harold
