[OSList] Inviting your helpful suggestions...

Hello Rosa

I just had a blind person in my workshop and she gave me some helpful tips:

- when presenting issues, people should say their name. Blind people 
tend to have extremely good memory, so they later recognise the voice 
and rememeber the name

- gel pens produce writing that blind people can feel with their fingers

- there is a special paper that when heated roduces raised lines 
https://blindfoundation.org.nz/how-we-can-help/shop/braille/paper/zytex-swell-paper-a4-size-100-sheets/

- in our local library there was a lego platform srcewed on the wall. I 
thought this might be useful somehow, but I don't yet know how. ;)

If you find these helpful, let us know how you did it. :) And I also 
warmly recommend asking some of the participants how they would do it.

with warm regards,
