[Lincoln LUG] New member introduction

[Mobeen Iqbal]

Hello folks.
>
> My name is Mobeen Iqbal, though i'm known as Mo to most people. We 
> recently moved to lincolnshire, and i'm based about half an hour away 
> from skegness in a small hamlet called hannah. I'm a visually impaired 
> user of the linux operating system, and am currently trying to build a 
> custom talking distribution of linux based on either arch or Ubuntu 
> for the visually impaired. I just wanted to check if my message 
> reaches the list, and also to begin networking with people around 
> lincolnshire. I believe strongly in the strength of open source 
> software, and have worked for many years to supply computers with open 
> source software to the blind across the country. I have recently been 
> having fun turning my raspberry Pi in to an always on nas/download 
> server, and improving my linux command line skills. I am also involved 
> with the Raspberry VI project, a project which aims to make the 
> raspberry Pi accessible to the blind with speech output. I was also 
> the manager of a project called Vinux, linux for the visually impaired 
> for a couple of years. due to time constraints i had to step down but 
> it was certainly an excellent experience trying to produce an 
> accessible version based soley off Ubuntu. i'm more of a hardware 
> person than a coder, i can't sit still long enough to program and 
> don't really have the right mind set for it unfortunately. it would be 
> good to build up contacts in the lincolnshire area. i hope to hear 
> from some of you in due course.
