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.
Thank you Temporal for letting my kids win the Star Wars Lego set at @pycascades

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.
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!
Thanks to everyone, new friends and old, who make #pycascades so amazing. Already looking forward to next year in Portland! πβοΈ
There's still time to submit a lighting talk at #PyCascades!
