What are people working on?

• Ely

  • Accessibility workshop is tomorrow!

    • Here is the workshop agenda

    • Anyone can join in from the community calendar

• Chadi

  • Getting involved/onboarding needs to support accessibility

  • Sharing work around summarizing accessibility needs

• Carlos

  • RTC user identification uses colors. How to use distinct and accessible color palettes is being discussed on jupyterlab/jupyterlab issue #11641.

    • This issue is based on a thread on jupyterlab/jupyterlab PR #114430

  • Ely: seems like it needs to be a set of variables defined by the theme since themes can vary so much

  • Tony shares WCAG 3 will use a new color contrast method called APCA (Advanced Perceptual Contrast Algorithm)

• Isabela

  • Jupyter accessibility events updates! More updates to come, and you can always reference the quansight-labs/jupyter-accessbility-workshops repo

  • jupyterlab/jupyterlab PR #11658 is work on color contrast. I’ve gotten some review but there’s lots to discuss.

  • Roadmap updates (for CZI grant reporting and community communication) based on all your feedback. You can review the PR Quansight-Labs/jupyter-a11y-mgmt #60. When we get it cleaned up, it will go to jupyter/accessibility so it’s more findable by the community.
