Community Over Code Presentation

[Gláucia Esppenchutz <gl...@apache.org>]

Hi everyone,

My name is Glaucia and I am a committer at Incubator Apache Wayang.
I was thinking on submitting a presentation for the Community Over Code
event about how we can improve events, webpage layouts and etc to be more
inclusive and accessible for people with disabilities and neuro
divergencies in general.
As an autistic person, I was also thinking about bringing the
accommodations topic for tech events.

However, before submitting anything, I would like to ask the community if
you think it is a good idea and also collect insights if any.


Thank you so much in advance!
Glaucia

Yes, this would be a great topic to cover.  Since ASF projects are run 
all by volunteers, it's often hard to find the time to ensure our 
websites and other materials are truly accessible.  So having some clear 
pointers and a session at our conference would definitely be appreciated.

The CPF is at this link - please remember the CFP closes promptly before 
13 July, so make sure to get your submission in well before then.

Thanks!  I hope to get to see your talk at the conference.
