Jupyter a11y grant project

[isabela-pf]

Thanks I'd like to give 🙌

Updates from last week ✔️

• Curate JupyterLab themes #133. Updated checklist based on all y'all's feedback. Tania and Stephannie and I turned them into issues by type and region at quansight-labs/juptyer-accessible-themes.
• Test out a new contribution event! #132 began drafting ideas for a keyboard navigation testing workshop. This isn't legible to any non-@isabela-pf people at this point so I'm not linking it yet. But it's happening after I've put it off far too long.

Challenges I faced and things I'd like assistance with 🙏

• We've completed most (if not all) the to dos from the last meeting regarding how to the checklist. I'm not sure where my time is most useful next. With one of the options? With proposing fixes for some of the options? With identifying color issues early?

My availability for next week

• I'll be here all week.

Important items for discussion 💬

• I don't think I have one at the moment.

Thanks I'd like to give 🙌

• @steff456 for taking charge of reviews for Tania
• @kulsoomzahra for enthusiasm about learning accessibility and JupyterLab

Updates from last week ✔️

• I've been very slow this week. Haven't been feeling well.
• Working on tab traps
  • Volunteered to help with Lumino 2 tasks (because fixing tab traps will require working on Lumino)
• Working on follow-up testing repo tasks
• Spent some time reading
• Will provide more details tomorrow (link to github issues etc)

Challenges I faced and things I'd like assistance with 🙏

• Nothing at the moment.

My availability for next week

• Here all next week.

Thanks I'd like to give 🙌

• Thanks to everyone for Monday's meeting, I think we managed to get on track on a lot of things!

Updates from last week ✔️

• I worked on defining the audits that we need.
• Start doing Zoom audits for all the components.

Challenges I faced and things I'd like assistance with 🙏

• Everything is ok for now

My availability for next week

• I'll be here!

[isabela-pf]

Isabela to do:

• Be ready for more design requests based on Stephannie's audit
• Start mapping color stuffs again so we have that queued up again (low effort, high impact first)

@kulsoomzahra

1. Has been having plenty of check-ins with Gabriel and Tony 🎉
2. Has set her JupyterLab environment 💻
3. Regarding a11y - one of the most mind-blowing findings is the clinical vs social definition of disability

@gabalafou

1. I will need to take some time off
2. 📌 - I will be working on Lumino as part of his fixing traps work

@steff456

1. Has made some excellent progress on the Zoom audits 🎉
2. I will be working on finishing the audits on Zoom and typing up findings
