If There Is To Be The Year of Linux Desktop, Accessibility Must Be a Priority

@GraysonPeddie

Just read this interview between a journalist from TechRepublic and the project leader for Fedora. He mentions accessibility as one of the things they’re thinking about in their five year plan!

From the interview in response to the question “what is the five-year plan for Fedora 36?”:

I don’t know what the technology will look like. I don’t think anyone can predict technology trends five years out. But one of the big flags I’m putting on our horizon is that we should double the size of the active Fedora collaborative community. We know our user base is growing, and we need to grow the project to match. To do that, we’re going to focus our investments in mentoring, in accessibility and inclusiveness and generally in community health. That will power success in whatever technology looks like in 2025 or 2027 or beyond.

It’s not much, but it’s something. :slight_smile:
