Last year, GitHub took a pledge to help improve the accessibility of open source, centered on three goals:
Empower people with disabilities to contribute to open source.
Increase the availability and adoption of open source assistive technologies.
Improve the accessibility of mainstream open source projects.
This pledge came with a clear responsibility: turn intention into practical, community-led action. Over the past year we’ve had the chance to work with maintainers, contributors, educators, accessibility advocates, and people with disabilities who are doing the hard, real work of building a culture of inclusion within open source communities.
