Jupyter notebooks in 2024 is still not accessible.
In his #PyCascades talk, Venkatesh Potluri (who is blind) noted that popular Python libraries like matplotlib etc still can't embed alt text.
He made a patch for it, but the notebooks still don't pick up alt text.
I am loving the PyLadies panel at @pycascades πππ
@mariatta's efforts as a core Python developer to the development tools and making sure the #Python language summit is not all men ever again is truly incredible.
@christyheaton shared how her organizing work started and how it was really helpful to just jump in and start giving talks. Find a topic or project you like (in her case mapping in Python) and just speak about it everywhere!
Dang I am feeling some serious FOMO about #PyCascades. While I feel like I done goofed by passing on this event (although I am not sure that it would have been possible given some personal logistics in the next few weeks) I gotta say it is *really* nice to see lively posting coming out of folks attending. Feels like Twitter before everything got really bad.
Thank you Temporal for letting my kids win the Star Wars Lego set at @pycascades

There's still time to submit a lighting talk at #PyCascades!
