  • I agree. Although I found a lot of the narration very amusing for that reason: "a totally visually impaired person".

    Or at the end the narrator leaves us in deep contemplation with: "it was we the normally sighted people who have been blind throughout to the wonders of Open Source technologies on the Linux platform".

    The elevator music also give this video a lot of character.

    But seriously, it is really great to hear about deployments of Orca around the world.

  • as a visually impaired person myself, i hate the first few seconds of the voice over. consider re-writing it, because it comes across as insulting, not helpful

  • Yeah, it's all "Ha, you can't see this. And WE call YOU, THE MINORITY"

    Like, stop being a jerk, narrator.

  • awesome!

  • I beleave this is a very good iniciative but the voice over ruins this presentation; for gods sake:

    We call it the blind?

  • The narration did sound rather condescending.
