GNU/Linux provides superior alternatives to JAWS - the only reason more sight impaired people don't ditch MS is because they don't hear about it - and because they get stupid advice (you need to learn things - learning shouldn't be necessary).

I wonder, could the upcoming Software Freedom Day be a kind of opportunity to spread the word of Free Software to them? Our team would probably have joined the deal, but, unfortunately, we don't apparently have anything to offer to the sight impaired at our disposal (no embossers, no Braille terminals, and I don't even know if the speech synthesizers provided with Debian support Russian.)
