After two weeks of writing, revising, and trying to make everything as digestible as possible, I finally published "GNOME Calendar: A New Era of Accessibility Achieved in 90 Days", where I explain in detail the steps we took to turn GNOME Calendar from an app that was literally unusable with a keyboard and screen reader to an app that is (finally) accessible to keyboard and screen reader users as of GNOME 49!

My pro meeting audio tip for #GNOME users: map an unused top-right corner keyboard key as global shortcut for (un)muting the microphone, then paper-sticker-label it.
Now no need to have the meeting browser tab focused (or to remember each conferencing app's shortcuts) to toggle your microphone input.
The recording indicator in the top-right of your screen in GNOME reflects that change, although a bit too subtly. Up for grabs for newcomers: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-s…

Below, I added some hype music to mastodon.social/@alatiera/1147…
With that, I believe we could get a huge GNOME fundraiser drive going, by selling tickets to a philanthropic wrestling match between @alatiera and probonopd. Per tradition, the match could take place in an abandoned warehouse in San Francisco, kitted up as for a rave. KDE devs welcome.
I bet Jordan would smack Xorg down so hard that xeyes pops out, and we would never hear from X11 again as Wayland reigns supreme.

Continuing our volunteer effort to make GNOME Calendar fully accessible with a keyboard (see thread for context), we fixed a major bug that was causing the focus to disappear into the abyss when the user tried to tab into the month view in merge request !576. This means, as of this commit, events should now be completely functional and accessible within the month view. Additionally, the merge request changes the keyboard and focus behavior within the month view: Events can only be cycled using arrow buttons, the focus can't escape the month view with arrow buttons, and entering/exiting the month view can only be done with tab. These improvements will be available on GNOME 49.
