Attendance
We’re trying something new. Even if you’re lurking in the meeting, please find something to reply to or at least leave an emoji reaction on. We have heard that a lot of people follow the meetings, and we’d love to know who you all are, and how many of you are there.
Remember, meetings are open to everyone, and that includes participation. If you want to say something during a meeting, go for it, but please at least let us know you’re there. 🙂
As Murphy’s Law would have it, emoji reactions were bugging out today, but I’m sure we’ll be able to kick this off for real next week.

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).
