Chris will discuss GNOME Accessibility features, including screen reading and magnification, plus how to configure X and Gnopernicus to use a second monitor for magnification. One or two accessible live Linux distributions will also be demonstrated.

Accessibility is enabling people with disabilities to participate in substantial life activities that include work and the use of services, products, and information. Gnopernicus is designed to enable low vision or totally blind users to use the Gnome Desktop, through screen magnification, text to speech, text to Braille and other assistive features.

gumstix, Inc. creates the world's smallest commercially available Linux boards and computers. Their devices are based on Intel's PXA255 processor with Xscale technology (also used in high-end PDAs and smartphones), measure only 20mm x 80mm x 8mm -- the size of a stick of gum -- and cost as low as $109. gumstix boards provide GPIO pins, serial ports, USB 1.1 client, an MMC flash memory card slot, and an I2C bus.

Their's are among the first single board computers (SBCs) shipping with the new Linux 2.6 kernel, with its fully pre-emptible, multi-threading capabilties.
