Looking for an accessibility expert to help with a D7 site

Hi,

I have a client that needs their Drupal 7 site %100 AA accessible by January 1st, 2020. Although I am a Drupal developer, I have been working primarily with Wordpress the last couple years and I am far from an expert in accessibility. Is there anyone in this group available to help out? Or, can anyone recommend someone?

Thanks in advance

Should you contribute to open source? It's complicated.

Start: 
2019-03-20 06:00 - 08:00 America/Chicago
Organizers: 
Event type: 
User group meeting

Join us this month for a special presentation from our guest speaker Chris Russo of Savas Labs coming all the way from Durham, NC!

Note: We're meeting at WeWork University Park this month

Topic

In the best-case scenario, an open source project is comprised of a virtuous, reciprocal community in which participants donate their time to improve a tool that is freely available to all people. The anti-tragedy of the commons, a utopian sharing economy, if you will. This representation of open source projects jibes well with those who favor a decentralized and democratic organization methodology, but does it sync with how open source works in the wild? Or is there more we should consider when we're thinking about contributing to open source?

Drupal Training Day in Bryan/College Station

I am planning a whole day of mentor-guided, self-led Drupal training in Bryan/College Station. I don't have any details yet-- was just interested in it and came across https://buildamodule.com/train as a super guide that looks really approachable. My Drupal 8 is currently very limited to just a few personal, one-off projects, but I am ramping up and want to share what I've got and learn more.

I am looking for organizers, mentors, old friends I haven't seen in a while :), and of course attendees!

Thoughts?
