 The Fedora Quality Team is joining Week of Diversity with an Accessibility Test Week!

Much like other Test Days, the goal of this week is to put Fedora through its paces and catch as many accessibility related issues as we can for our disable users. If you want to put your advocacy to action, consider participating!

The Accessibility Test Week runs from Jun 19-25, starting tomorrow.

 We are aware of the unfortunate issue with the screen reader for installs in Fedora 40. That should be fixed for Fedora 41 and future, but there are challenges with getting it resolved in current isos.

That issue has prompted more collaboration from the Accessibility Working Group with our Quality Team (this test week is the first step in that). We're also working to communicate more downstream and with our edition/spin working groups. 
 For day 1 of the Fedora Week of Diversity we have Ankur Sinha's experience! He learned about the community during college and today he contributes in the Nueroscience SIG and Ask Fedora, encouraging open science and helping others get plugged into the community.
