It’s time to celebrate and thank everyone for all their efforts during the last week.
November continues to be a very busy time in the Marketing Team with requests for help and joint working with other teams and to support the 5.6 release. We have lots of ways new contributors can get involved from helping to draft social media posts for campaigns to research, and from creating marketing personas to providing input into questions and answers for WordPress user-facing content.
Thanks to @nalininonstopnewsuk and @webcommsat for monitoring and helping in all these areas.

If you need accessibilityAccessibility Accessibility (commonly shortened to a11y) refers to the design of products, devices, services, or environments for people with disabilities. The concept of accessible design ensures both “direct access” (i.e. unassisted) and “indirect access” meaning compatibility with a person’s assistive technology (for example, computer screen readers).
