Open source projects want to improve accessibility, but many do not know where to start. In this talk, we introduce the Open Source Accessibility Framework, a practical phased approach that helps projects build accessibility into their documentation, workflows, testing, and community practices over time.

This is a lightning talk during the Day 2 Lightning Talks session (1:00pm to 2:10pm, Ballroom B). A full-length version of this talk runs at 3:15pm in Room 307.
