Future Events and Dates
Missed this one as I just found out about it but would be keen to know about future dates, not so much at the moment to participate as I must admit clients still asking for D7 at moment so I feel out of the loop with D8 a11y initiatives, but keen to learn about a11y in D8 and where the direction is going.
Also keen to know is there a slack channel? Been out of the loop on communications in the community and it seems most are now using Slack over IRC?
hi @amaree! here is more info
hi @amaree! here is more info on some groups using Slack in Drupal - https://www.drupal.org/slack
once you join the main Drupal slack channel, you can find smaller sub-group channels, including the #accessibility one. not sure how it compares to IRC, but seems to be an easier UI for communication for some. hope to see you there!
