[BlindMath] TeX Hour tomorrow: Learning from Blind Coders (with Jana Schroeder)

Wed Apr 7 20:35:58 UTC 2021

Thanks for sharing the details in the mail. It is very helpful as I wasn't aware of the existence of Blind Coders group. 

My kid is vision impaired and I am very much looking forward to have her learn Latex and any other technology which can make Math, Science etc. accessible to her. 

The first line says that the Tex hour will be tomorrow (April 1st) which makes me think that the mail got stuck on the mail server for a week as I got this today only.

I was wondering if there will be Tex sessions in the near future? We'll be very much interested to learn more about it.

Please let me know.

Thanks
Shailendra

Subject: [BlindMath] TeX Hour tomorrow: Learning from Blind Coders (with Jana Schroeder)

Hi

There's a TeX Hour tomorrow evening (Thursday 1 April) 6:30 to 7:30 UK time. We are privileged to have Jana Schroeder as a special guest.  In other news, within a few hours videos from past TeX Hours will be up on YouTube (all the way up to last week). URLs are below.

Last month Jana organised a who-are-we and what-do-we-want and how-to-get-there meeting which was attended by over 20 blind coders. Jana has applied for a $25,000 Holman prize to fund her project, called Blind Coders Blazing Trails.

The draft agenda for tomorrow is
1. Introductions
2. News from Blind Coders, with questions and answers 3. Blind persons as partners for accessible math

Here are some blind coder URLs.

The TeX Hour has a monthly cycle for its topics.

First Thursday: Beginners
Second Thursday: Accessibility
Third Thursday: Conversion (eg LaTeX to PDF, LaTeX to HTML, markdown to
LaTeX)
Fourth Thursday: Durable Documents (same outputs give same input across space and time) Fifth Thursday: Experiments and Exploration.

Finally, Jana and all other Holman Prize applicants have our best wishes.

with best regards

Jonathan
