Open Source Assistive Technology Hackathon

[mlama007]

I'm thrilled to announce the Open Source Assistive Technology Hackathon!

Join us on May 21–22 at the GitHub headquarters in San Francisco (SF) to celebrate Global Accessibility Awareness Day.

This free, 2-day, in-person event is focused on empowering participants to build skills and make real contributions to the assistive technology (AT) tools people rely on every day.

New to open source or GitHub? Join us for the GitHub Learning room to learn about core GitHub contribution workflows and practice navigating repositories, issues, pull requests, and code reviews with confidence. This workshop led by Jeffrey Bishop will also cover NVDA and keyboard-only navigation!

Ready to contribute? Join us to contribute to one of our featured open source AT projects! We will have maintainers and collaborators available to help.

Featured projects:

1. NVDA - you’ll have a special opportunity to collaborate with members of the NVDA team, who will join remotely to help you get set up, answer questions, and review contributions to NVDA.
2. More projects coming soon...

We’re seeking additional projects. If you maintain (or contribute to) an AT project and would like your project to be part of the hackathon - whether it needs docs improvements, triage support, testing, or small starter issues - please reach out to Maria Lamardo.

Got a new idea you want to work on? Bring it and work on it with accessibility and technology experts! No need for technical skills!

Sign up for the Open Source Assistive Technology Hackathon!

Thanks for sharing this template!
This is really helpful for reporting issues clearly and making it easier for maintainers to understand the problem.
