Accessibility Talks: “Found an accessibility issue? Now what?” with Sergei Kriger, Software Engineer at ProSieben. In this talk, I will share my experience in reporting accessibility issues to development teams and guide you on how to make these reports not only heard, but also understood and (possibly) implemented. We will go step-by-step through the process of creating readable reports supported by well-recorded demos.

Join us next week for “Found an accessibility issue? Now what?” with @sergeikriger.com, Software Engineer at ProSieben.

Mark your calendars: July 29, 12pm ET

Dans le secteur des télécommunications, les appels interrompus sont rédhibitoires, tout comme les produits inaccessibles. Si vos exigences métier ne tiennent pas compte de l'accessibilité dès le départ, vous laissez des utilisateurs sur le carreau. fr.alicia.design/post/faites-de… #a11y #Prodmgmt

In telecom, dropped calls are a dealbreaker—and the same goes for inaccessible products. If your business requirements don’t account for accessibility from the start, you’re leaving users behind. alicia.design/post/make-a11y… #a11y #Prodmgmt

#CaptionTheNews: ITV News’ defence of inaccessible social media videos is baffling As the #CaptionTheNews campaign continues, ITV News has finally addressed its accessibility problem - by missing the point entirely.

A scanned image of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The document has a cream-colored background with a red header at the top that includes the Canadian coat of arms and the words “Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms” in both English and French. Below the header, the text is organized into multiple columns, each outlining different sections of the Charter, including rights and freedoms related to expression, mobility, equality, legal protections, and language rights. The document has a formal, official appearance, resembling a historical or legal proclamation.

Happy Canada Day.

We’re all about small-p patriotism: recognizing there’s plenty of work to be done, but also that we’ve got something worth building on here.
