Intercom will be hosting us for our August meetup. We will have Ariane (https://twitter.com/nahratzah) as our speaker, who will give her well-received AlterConf (https://alterconf.com/talks/non-verbal-accessibility) talk about non-verbal accessibility

Talk 1: Non-verbal accessibility by Ariane

Description: I have selective mutism, so I spend part of my life mute. Until recently, it only affected me some days and was not a problem. Recently it became prolonged and stronger, causing me to not be able to talk at all with people. This causes all kinds of interesting problems at work, ranging from the inability to say 'hi' to co-workers, to how I'll attend a meeting and provide input. Text To Speech software to the rescue! Turns out, this is a lot harder than you would expect. While my co-workers are accepting, they often forget. It also turns out that conversations have a lot of complicated rules that you wouldn't be aware of. Although that doesn't matter if the software for the meeting doesn't provide accessibility.

Remember to bring your laptop! You will have a chance to deep dive with speakers, pair programme on a tutorial, a project (could even be your own), ask a question (don't be shy, we are here to help).
