It's another End Of 10 Challenge 🖖

Supporters are invited to do a simple task to further the campaign goals.

This time's challenge … 🚀

Locate the bug tracker 🐞 of an app you use, and learn how to submit a bug report 🐝 for the developers.

BONUS ❤️ POINTS: Actually submit a bug report.

BONUS BONUS ❤️❤️ POINTS: Show a friend how to do it too!

Tell us about it in a post. Don't forget hashtag #EO10Challenges

Could we design systems, possibly using #AI, that help people hear each other more deeply, rather than shout more loudly? Could AI reveal patterns of harm and help communities heal?

Why aren't #governments using #OpenSource tools like pol.is to find places of agreement?

I recommend Ente Auth as an authenticator app. Aegis is good, but it's not available on PC. Ente is available on PC ( Linux included ), and it's Open Source.

LibreOffice's codebase is absolutely massive (~50M lines according to cloc?), and it very much got me beat the other day, when I "speedran" a scant 2 bugfixes in 7 hours.

So today, I'm going for a rematch! Let's see if better tools (rr, ctags) and better understanding of #LibreOffice code is going to be enough for me to get a bugfix in under 2 hours for #BugsDoneQuick! :joy:

Kontaktovat Klipper tým? Někoho v EU? 🤔

Just wrapped up high school and exploring what's next! You probably know me from Altbot (the accessibility bot that helps make Fedi more inclusive), but I also build terminal tools, AI integrations, and love working on anything that improves user experience.

Looking for opportunities in full-stack dev, UI/UX, or accessibility-focused roles. Strong in Go, Python, C#, Web, 7+ years Linux experience, and passionate about open source. My projects have thousands of users and I'm always thinking about how to make tech more accessible, inclusive, and user friendly for everyone.

Why is security work unlike any other contribution to an open source project?

We need to re-think the tight association between maintainers and security work if we want sustainable open source security.

Happy Disability Pride Month everybody :)

During the past few weeks, there's been an overwhelming amount of progress with accessibility on GNOME Calendar:

• Event widgets/popovers will convey to screen readers that they are toggle buttons. They will also convey of their states (whether they're pressed or not) and that they have a popover.

• Calendar rows will convey to screen readers that they are check boxes, along with their states (whether they're checked or not). Additionally, they will no longer require a second press of a tab to get to the next row; one tab will be sufficient.

• Month and year spin buttons are now capable of being interacted with using arrow up/down buttons. They will also convey to screen readers that they are spin buttons, along with their properties (current, minimum, and maximum values). The month spin button will also wrap, where going back a month from January will jump to December, and going to the next month from December will jump to January.

• Events in the agenda view will convey to screen readers of their respective titles and descriptions.

Accessibility on Calendar has progressed to the point where I believe it's safe to say that, as of GNOME 49, Calendar will be usable exclusively with a keyboard, without significant usability friction!

There's still a lot of work to be done in regards to screen readers, for example conveying time appropriately and event descriptions. But really, just 6 months ago, we went from having absolutely no idea where to even begin with accessibility in Calendar — which has been an ongoing issue for literally a decade — to having something workable exclusively with a keyboard and screen reader! :3

Huge thanks to @nekohayo for coordinating the accessibility initiative, especially with keeping the accessibility meta issue updated; Georges Stavracas for single-handedly maintaining GNOME Calendar and reviewing all my merge requests; and @tyrylu for sharing feedback in regards to usability.

All my work so far has been unpaid and voluntary; hundreds of hours were put into developing and testing all the accessibility-related merge requests. I would really appreciate if you could spare a little bit of money to support my work, thank you 🩷
