Only 2 days left until I close the call for papers for this year's #HTMHellAdventCalendar

Manuel Matuzović @matuzo.at · 16d

So far I've received 11 submissions for this year's #HTMHellAdventCalendar. They look fantastic, but, you know, I need at least 24.

You can write about anything you want related to HTML. There's no “too basic”; we need more fundamental HTML knowledge out there because we suck at the basics. 1/2

Listening to the accidental specialism episode of #unfinishedBz with Andy Clarke and @clagnut.com

Humbled to get a shout out but @londonwebstandards.org is not just me I’m the noisy one.

pods.link/ep/gb/i/1000...

Screenshot of a transcript which reads:
“Buy your ticket early. I know Dave Lattore has been talking about this a lot whenever he does one of his state of the browsers in London, which is one of the events that I go to whenever it's on. And it's always buy your tickets early, because otherwise it must be a nightmare to predict.

It's very hard, and particularly for something like the state of the browser for Dave, that's a one man show. Kind of like Beyond Teller and Mark Tealer there, basically it's a one man show. And you've got individuals there who are relying on it.”

Anyone got a talk on #HTML6 for next year’s stateofthebrowser.com

Vale @vale.rocks · 22d

I heard a rumour that they're releasing HTML6 next week, which deprecates semantics and introduces 3 new types of div.

Can't wait!

#Disabled folks, particular people who use assistive technology for web browsing, how do you feel #accessibility has been improving or not over the last few years?

This is for a talk I want to write about the actual impact of accessibility regulations and compliance. Boosts and thoughts welcome!

In May I got to give my most favourite talk What Do You See: Alt-Text as an Artistic Medium at @heypresents.com Hey! All Day

If you missed it live, it’s now up on the world wide web!
heypresents.com/talks/what-d...

Hey! Presents · What do you see?

In this talk, Lola explores what it means to deconstruct an image and radically centre screen-reader users, using alt-text as an art space. How can we create an experience for screen-reader users that is just as creative and considered as the sighted experience?
