notebook for all monthly community call
notebooks for all is an open source accessibility initiative to improve the quality interactive computing experiences for disabled people and assistive technology users. this work actively seeks includes disabled communities to hear their wants/needs for assistive computational literature at work, in class, or media in general.
the notebooks for all project started with funds from the Space Telescope Science Institute to improve access for blind and low vision scientists using computational notebooks. currently, we are working accessible representation of jupyter notebooks in the nbconvert-a11y project, read more WIP on the wiki.
we'll meet monthly to discuss assistive technology, disability, accessibility, data science, and notebooks.
