Happy Open-Source Day!*
Open-Source brings so many benefits. NV Access is proud to be part of the community, from welcoming code contributions, to decreasing cost for users around the world. It's easy to see why "Open-Source First" is a popular policy for governments & companies everywhere.
(*At least in Florence, Italy - a quick search found several dates this year - Open Source not only brings innovation, but also choice!)
