A universe of events and platforms focused on open source, open tech and the open web.

All Things Open

GitHub is investing in open source accessibility to help 1.3 billion people with disabilities. The initiative focuses on three key areas: fixing foundational open source projects to create a multiplier effect downstream, enabling disabled developers to contribute and build careers, and supporting custom assistive technology development. GitHub's Open Source Accessibility Summit attracted 800 registrants, demonstrating strong community demand. The work emphasizes incremental progress over perfection, with resources available at gh.io/open-source-accessibility for developers at all skill levels to contribute.
