VPAT for Guacamole
Do you know if Guacamole has a VPAT for Section 508 compliance for a
government procurement?

Might still be doable. Conceptualizing the remote desktop part of the guac
UI as a video feed (fairly equivalent), it looks like the only thing needed
for 508 compliance there would be a descriptive audio track [1]:
"(b) Equivalent alternatives for any multimedia presentation shall be
synchronized with the presentation. ... PASS: Content presented through
video, but not through audio is provided in an audio description track."
So as long as the client-side UI is modified as necessary, it sounds like
all that's necessary for the remote desktop is a screen reader? Guacamole
would just pass through that audio and presto: descriptive audio track.

The reality is that even if the Guac UI is made to comply with section 508
- relatively a simple task. There is no easy way to make the virtual
desktop/applications comply with section 508. The screens are just
images....
Hope this helps.
