Those issues have been resolved and we’re starting to have a trickle of conversations.

We also invite those charged with insuring that cloud platforms and their resources are accessible to and usable by blind cloud professionals.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center;text-indent:.5in'>With more and more organizations migrating their IT services to the cloud and the need for more cloud professionals and architects and the need to create opportunities for blind cloud engineers this list was created for this purpose. Topics can include general questions about cloud computing, what kind of Web and other applications can be hosted in the cloud, which cloud platforms are the most usable by blind cloud professionals, What cloud computing and cloud management packages are best for managing cloud environments with assistive technology, how are cloud computing professionals able to overcome accessibility issues on cloud platforms including the use of cloud management packages, what resources are available to enable one to learn the skills of cloud environment design and management from a blindness perspective, and other topics related to the construction and management of cloud computing infrastructure and related resources.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>To subscribe send an e-mail message to: <span class=MsoHyperlink><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Roboto;color:#2962FF;text-decoration:none'><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Roboto;color:#202124'><a href="https://groups.google.com/g/blindcloudcomputing"><span style='color:#202124;text-decoration:none'>blindcloudcomputing@googlegroups.com</span></a></span><span class=MsoHyperlink><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#202124;text-decoration:none'><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>How to Subscribe:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>To subscribe to the Blind Cloud Computing List send an e-mail message to: <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><a href="mailto:blindcloudcomputing+subscribe@googlegroups.com">blindcloudcomputing+subscribe@googlegroups.com</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'> Simply reply to the confirmation message to activate your subscription.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>Posting To Blind Cloud Computing:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'> You can post to the list by sending a message to:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'><a href="mailto:blindcloudcomputing@googlegroups.com">blindcloudcomputing@googlegroups.com</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'> Come and join the conversation about all things cloud computing and the opportunities it holds for the blind.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>Peter Donahue<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
