These projects can be as simple as possible (yes, that calculator app) and we're willing to guide them through the whole process.</p> <h2> Join Me.. How to Participate </h2> <p><strong>1. Help me find issues and sites to be worked on</strong><br> Join me surf GitHub and the net for projects that need changes. If you have a website/project that is open source, I'd be willing to run an accessibility audit on it. Note that complex issues are also welcome.</p> <p><strong>2. Contribute</strong><br> From October 1, I'd be updating here, on Twitter and a Slack Workspace I created for this purpose (Link below) with the issues found. Feel free to jump in and you also get to meet others.</p> <p><strong>3. Teach/Share resources</strong><br> To make this as beginner friendly as possible, there will be teachings to guide you through using Git/GitHub and basic accessibility changes most websites ignore.<br> If you also have an article or website that is accessibility focused, I'd love to have them.</p> <p><a href="https://join.slack.com/t/a11yopensource/shared_invite/zt-hm4awhpe-IFGV_y94E2N2n2L6s~VqRQ">Slack Invite</a><br> Twitter: @definebell</p> <p>P.S<br> This is actually my first post here.
