[stylist] Mind mapping

[Daniel Meek]

I don't know if this is relevant, but earlier this week there was a
conference call on a tactile drawing program for the blind.  I'll repost the
message below.
Passing along a notice for anyone who might be interested.

NFB Krafters Korner
October 17, 2011
Monday Night Chat
Special Time 9:30 p.M. Eastern time

I would like to invite everyone to join us for a Monday Night Chat October
17th at 9:30 PM Eastern time, 8:30 PM Central, 7:30 PM Mountain, 6:30 PM
Pacific, 5:30 PM Alaska time!

We will have Professor Richard Baldwin as a guest speaker the creator  of
a drawing program that he designed for the blind.

He states:
"Having been the sighted teacher of a blind student for several years,  I
firmly believe that making it possible for blind and visually  impaired
people, and particularly blind and visually impaired students in  STEM
courses, to communicate using accurate printed and tactile graphics  will
improve the quality of life and the likelihood of academic success for
those
students.

I have written a computer program that makes it possible, for the first
time
in history, for blind and visually impaired people to create such  graphics
in an accessible and user-friendly way.

Version 0.0.8 of my drawing program for blind students is now posted  and
available for free and immediate download at":

He has agreed to join the NFB Krafters Division to chat and answer
questions we may have about this new program he has developed. Please do

the above scheduled time.
