I have been converting the PDF version of Computational Mathematics with SageMath to Multimedia ePub3 and DAISY for a blind physics student. I am using ChattyBooks, ChattyInfty3 by  Multimedia Daisy / EPUB3 Player ChattyBooks (sciaccess.net).
So far I managed to finished Chapter 1 and Chapter 2, but face some issue in Marketing.

Will this group consider advertise SageMath as a best tool to teach math, computation. and their application to physics etc? 

I am happy to share the ePub3 (Thorium Reader) and DAISY (ChattyBooks) with you.

This is a great initiative.

Marketing? 

Do you mean to mention a technical issue we can try to help you with, but we need more details?

We will be happy to advertise Sagemath with accessibility enhancements, surely.

We try to be realistic in marketing - while Sagemath is used a lot in teaching, it's not a single Best environment out there.



I am happy to share the ePub3 (Thorium Reader) and DAISY (ChattyBooks) with you.

Thank youfor the email. I don't see any chance of making money but probably convince public agents to fund such efforts.
You may have some connection to UNESCO or alike.

We don't have any kind of connections like this. In the past we had
support of NSF and EU's granting agency ERC,
now we only have https://github.com/sponsors/sagemath and
https://opencollective.com/sage_math

We were talking about getting supported by NumFOCUS
(https://numfocus.org/) - but it appears to be stalled.

Getting grants is much earier for people with permanent academic jobs,
ideally knowing right people.
I'm just a lowly temp. lecturer, and don't know right people...

Best
Dima
