the Django accessibility team (currently @tom, @sabderemane, @thibaudcolas) is switching to having regular meetings. As part of this switch, we’ll also start publishing our meeting notes, in this thread.
If you want to be aware when there are new meeting notes available, Discourse has per-thread “Watching” and “Tracking” modes which you can find at the very bottom of this page. You can also set this to “Muted” if you want.

Agenda
- T-shirts or something cool I dunno, very important we discuss this, maybe move to the top of the agenda
- Something with a very cool graphic
- Says “Django” and “Accessibility”. Optionally it could say “team”
- Wear them to conferences
- Badge
- Shirt would be cool
- Django accessibility team pony. Pony in a wheelchair
- Axe-selenium-python
- Question from Chaim: “Why transfer vs a fork or vendoring? If we take it over how much on the hook will we end up being to maintain the community around what is a non-django app?"
- The package is 100 lines of code. Feels a bit silly to vendor or fork something that works fine as a separate package and is useful for other projects. Maintenance overhead should be minimal. If we can’t figure this out with the django org, the accessibility team can set up their own separate organisation.
- Sarah, Tom, Thibaud – happy to own long-term maintenance with no other involvement from other teams
- django-debug-toolbar
- Label placement in admin forms – wide fields
- To review #34917 (Links in the Django admin should be underlined.) – Django
- Add underline and move on. Tom to follow up
- Using multiple search roles or elements for one set of items (I know what I mean)
- Landmarks for search features in changelists
- Search landmark / element for search form, top links, filters
- Make sure each is labelled
- I sort of wonder if we can or should migrate the team into a working group
- Prominence of teams vs. working groups
- Not for now
- Something to consider for bigger / specific projects
- Obviously Thibaud finished the draft annual report so we should discuss it
- Thibaud’s static admin demo thing, can it be automated better / made generally available
- I will get back to you on that
- Djangonaut Space
- Invited to next meeting
- Ideally accessibility in next session
- Tom: captain possibly, not navigator
- Thibaud: I don’t know yet
- Sarah: “I’m an organizer” (no)
- Accessibility @ Google Summer of Code
- May to August
- Tom maybe, Sarah maybe, Thibaud yes
- Think of ideas by 10 days from now ish
- Keyboard shortcuts?
- 3-5 new components in admin?
- Accessibility @ Google Season of Docs
- Ideas:
- User documentation for the admin

Note that @accessibility is setup and you are all owners of the group. You can hopefully tweak permissions around the group as you see fit but we can update something if not.
