About the Open Source Accessibility Summit

The Open Source Accessibility Summit will be a one-day in-person event that brings together members of the disability, accessibility, and open source communities to define a roadmap for improving the accessibility of open source software. It will be an interactive event where participants brainstorm and refine ideas that shape the future of open source accessibility. 

Goals of the summit are to:

  1. Make connections between people who have a shared interest in improving the accessibility of open source software.
  2. Share knowledge and current best practices for creating diverse, inclusive, and accessible open source projects.
  3. Define a public roadmap for improving the accessibility of open source software so the community can collaborate to realize it after the summit.

Do you have a passion for innovation? Do you believe everyone should be able to realize the benefits of technology? Please join us! Everyone is welcome to attend the summit. We need a diverse set of skills, experience, and perspectives.
