We kicked off the Jupyter community call new year with intense demos, exciting discussions, and future-facing questions. Watch January's community call for yourself here! youtu.be/LjgctsAIubQ

Your next Jupyter community call is coming up on February 28 at 8am Pacific. This is a great time to share something in Jupyter's orbit you learned, you made, or that you want to say thanks for! More info on the Jupyter discourse: discourse.jupyter.org/t/jupyter-comm…

I'm recruiting participants for a JupyterLab #accessibility study! Please check it out and share around. More info and a sign up link on the Project Jupyter Discourse: discourse.jupyter.org/t/participate-…

There are two days left to register for the Day of Accessibility at Space Telescope Science Institute! It's a jam-packed schedule of experts, and you might get to see me there.✨ Register in person or virtual at iota-school.github.io/day_accessibil…

And thanks to Tony Fast for presenting with me!

We're still recruiting! If you are interested in helping us learn more about the state of JupyterLab's accessibility, please sign up.

Coming up SciPyConf! 🙌 We’ve got Isabela Presedo-Floyd discussing “Accessibility Best Practices for Authoring Jupyter Notebooks.” Learn how to create inclusive notebooks and thereby reach a wider audience. 🖊️ Co-authored by Stephannie Jimenez cfp.scipy.org/2023/talk/VGAU…

Isabela Presedo-Floyd is talking about #A11y in #Jupyter at SciPyConf #SciPy2023

back during my GSOC the numpy/matplotib handling of Unicode was severely busted & and I learned this by accident cause I was writing tests w/ Cyrillic characters - the previous tests for Unicode used ASCII characters that had been "encoded" into Unicode.

Slides here from yesterday's SciPy talk on making Jupyter notebooks accessible: bit.ly/accessible-not… As usual, many practices that help disabled users are also better for everyone.

Currently, Project Jupyter Notebooks are not accessible for screen reader users, often keeping #blind folks out of STEM. We presented JupyterCon 2023 on our team's recent work on improving #a11y for HTML notebooks. youtube.com/watch?v=LJMS9R… Tony Fast Isabela Presedo-Floyd Erik Tollerud (@[email protected]) +Jen Kotler

. NumFOCUS Quansight Michael Droettboom Jorge 🐺 Isabela Presedo-Floyd I wrote an article on #SciPy2023 for a Japanese technical magazine. I featured you all in the article! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Notebook authors, I'm thrilled to be able to share recommendations for writing more accessible notebooks! This talk answers questions educators, researchers, and docs writers have been asking me for years. youtu.be/onjRLjveGxk

Ready to grow your accessibility awareness this fall? Join me on October 1 and October 15 for two open-to-all events about digital accessibility basics and actions you can take to improve the accessibility of your own work. Learn more and register here: labs.quansight.org/blog/announcin…
