Hi everyone,
Welcome Gláucia!
My name is Glaucia and I am a committer at Incubator Apache Wayang. I was thinking on submitting a presentation for the Community Over Code event about how we can improve events, webpage layouts and etc to be more inclusive and accessible for people with disabilities and neuro divergencies in general. As an autistic person, I was also thinking about bringing the accommodations topic for tech events. However, before submitting anything, I would like to ask the community if you think it is a good idea and also collect insights if any.
Yes, this would be a great topic to cover. Since ASF projects are run all by volunteers, it's often hard to find the time to ensure our websites and other materials are truly accessible. So having some clear pointers and a session at our conference would definitely be appreciated.
The CPF is at this link - please remember the CFP closes promptly before 13 July, so make sure to get your submission in well before then.
