Hi Christy! Thanks for your interest

The case study will be released with CC-SA licence, so you will be
able to publish any information inside just refering to the original
document.
I've been inside the Guadalinfo project for several years, I can
confirm every conclusion of the report, as:
* The project leaders invested in developing upstream for gnome3
* A big kit of accessibility devices are working on-the-fly with gnome
* Using free software for turning the computers into accessible
workstations allowed the project directors to invest lots more on
buying devices.

Christy, I wonder why do you replied me directly instead of posting to
the marketing-list ...
Best regards
