Thanks I'd like to give 🙌

• Everyone for Monday's meeting, I think we managed to define next steps towards fixing Zoom issues.

Updates from last week ✔️

• I created the PR referencing the summary of the Zoom audit: PR: Add zoom audit reference jupyter/accessibility#111
• I'm starting the PR for the Python logo fix
• I read a little bit more about accesible menus

Challenges I faced and things I'd like assistance with 🙏

• After the move I've been foggy and haven't been able to focus in work

My availability for next week

• I'll be here

Important items for discussion 💬

• I'm good!

• Thanks to @steff456 for her patience with my snail's pace. 🐌

Updates from last week ✔️

• Rendered notebook user testing - Round 1 #146 This was the beginning of my week. I had some more scheduling participant stuffs. Slowly putting up some issues found during test run (this is the first example and proposing a template so we get similar information from different test-runners who may write these up. Scheduling on-call support if we have assistive tech test-runners can't solve on their own.
• Curate JupyterLab themes #133. Researching experiences for high-density and document-y UX/UI to gather more ideas. And more sketches (still based on Stephannie's zoom review). I am much more focused on the reflow of the whole space than the details or text resizing at this phase. I need to post some of the ideas on relevant issues. This is still behind where it needs to be.

Challenges I faced and things I'd like assistance with 🙏

• I think I'm okay at the moment. Just painfully (for me) slow.

My availability for next week

• I'll be here all week.

Important items for discussion 💬

• This is a reminder more than needing discussion. I have work on Test out a new contribution event! #132 with draft ideas for a keyboard navigation testing workshop. I don't know if anyone wants to take a look or not since I don't think it's urgent. I would like to schedule a test run, though. Could a future (not next) Monday session be this?

Thanks I'd like to give 🙌

• Thanks @isabela-pf for taking time to help me work on blog post.

Updates from last week ✔️

• Created issue to track my work on refactoring Tony's testing code. Due date: this week.
• Tangentially related. Created pull request #354 against Lumino to close issue #336 to prep docs for v2
• Had chat with Darian about a11y and Lumino.
• Finished investigating how Windows handles certain zoom issues in connection with Stephannie's zoom audit
• Still working on tab traps (this work got a little sidelined by the pace of Lumino v2 work)

Challenges I faced and things I'd like assistance with 🙏

• Hard to find balance between commitment to helping with Lumino v2 versus doing accessibility-specific work. But I think it'll be okay and I'll meet all of my commitments.

My availability for next week

• I am out Thursday, August 25 (maybe), Friday, August 26 (definitely), Monday, August 29 (definitely)

Important items for discussion 💬

• How to stop worrying and love Lumino v2

@gabalafou for teaching me so much!

Updates from last week ✔️

• Navigated my way through the massive code base
• Reading about Typescript, code-formatters like prettier and black
• An attempt to encapsulate what I have learned/read so far
• Exploring and setting up a Gitpod repo

My availability for next week

• I'll be here all week
