Hi again,
Maybe I should introduce myself more extensive. I've also joined the Telegram group. I was interested in contributing to Fedora because some people in my network had interest in Linux but did not know how to start. I love Fedora (and think it's a great OS for new users) so I wanted to help them but did not find enough Dutch articles for them to read. Also because their knowledge of a computer is really really basic. Then I saw that linux and Fedora in particular, has way better accessibility for disabled people then other operating systems. I use Linux since about 13 years so I didn't know how big the difference was. I didn't get why healthy people don't use a Linux-variant but now I know how much Fedora can mean for you if you have a disability I really don't know why people hesitate. It can bring so much! So I want to write some really easy howto's in Dutch about Fedora and publice them on my site. That made me wonder if I couldn't join some other contributors. And here I am!
Still getting my way through all this, takes a while but easy does it :)

Thanks for sharing a bit of your background with us. :) There's a lot of cool accessibility options in Fedora, but I think someone could probably teach me a lot about the things available in Fedora that help with this.
As a note, while we're still probably a little bit away from working on this quite yet, we were discussing the idea of organizing something for International Day of Persons with Disabilities on December 3rd this year. It sounds like you have some knowledge in this area, so your insight would be welcome. :)
