A couple of weeks ago Novell released some videos highlighting the Linux desktop in preparation for the launch of SUSE Linux Enterprise 11. However, in our rush to get the videos out we didn’t include closed captioning to allow deaf and hard-of-hearing audiences to share in our excitement of this launch. The community reminded us that this is an important audience, and we have corrected the problem. The five videos with closed captions are now available at our virtual press kit. Check out videos on the Linux desktop market, our partners, the community and the others here and here. Also, check out this new ode to Linux.
Novell has been involved in activities to help Linux become the an accessible computing platform for all audiences. In fact, we have helped companies like Viable, a company that provides next-generation video relay services for deaf and hard-of-hearing persons, to grow their business and make communication available to their customers wherever there is Internet or wireless connectivity.
We are glad that we can have this dialog with users and for their input which helps us to meet their needs
