Agenda

Jupyter accessibility workshop resources! (First two events are up, but the last ones are pending. They will all link here.) Jupyter accessibility workshops repo

Mike:

• progressbar aria https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab/pull/12238

  • An addition based on review on a prior pull request.

  • This is something worth testing! Open invite for people to give it a try.

  • Prompted a discussion around what/how can we test these things going forward. Do we have several accessibility fixes we’d like tested where it’s worth actively reaching out to people?

  • Similar, but separate from discussion around regular user feedback surveys timed with JupyterLab releases.

Tania: Jupyter governance and jupyter/accessibility. A discussion around what’s happening and where the community thinks we belong!

• The initial proposal:jupyter/governance #121 Standing Committees and Working Groups PR

• Further discussion: jupyter/governance #124 [Proposal] - add jupyter/accessibility as a software sub-project

• :pencil: Future governance Software Steering Council roles and responsibilities

• Questions to pass over to the governance body:

  • What are the criteria under which the WG’s might or not get voting rights?

  • Same but for continued vote/existence?

• Pros and cons of each level. Summary is that it seems like there’s more pros and no real cons on being a software project (long term).

Next steps

• TODO: open an issue on jupyter/accessibility and use it as a RFD (request for discussion)/lazy voting and revisit in 2-4 weeks?

• Isabela to follow up with Mike on asking the community for feedback on existing accessibility fixes.
