Accessibility and Open Source: A Conversation with Mike Gifford

Our friend Mike Gifford from Open Concept is in the San Francisco Bay Area and has invited us all to an open discussion about accessibility in our open source projects. Mike is a distinguished member of the Drupal Core accessibility team.

We'll look beyond merely meeting WCAG 2.1 standards for our projects and see where Open Source and accessibility can co-exist.

Possible discussion points:
* Understanding compliance: A, AA, and AAA.
* What's new in WCAG 2.1?
* How to get buy-in from stakeholders BEFORE the build?
* Creating awareness beyond code
