Join us for an interactive disability justice workshop with Deloria Patton exploring how disabled people navigate systems, services, and support structures in Austria. Disability justice asks an important question: What would society look like if accessibility, care, and inclusion were built into our communities from the beginning? This workshop combines political education with practical information. Participants will explore how ableist systems create barriers while also learning about the resources, rights, and support services that currently exist. Whether you are disabled, chronically ill, neurodivergent, a caregiver, a support worker, an ally, or simply interested in creating more accessible communities, you are warmly welcome. **What Is Disability Justice?** Disability justice goes beyond legal accessibility requirements. It recognizes that many barriers are created by systems, institutions, policies, and environments rather than by people’s bodies or minds. Together, we will discuss: * What disability justice means in practice * How ableism shapes everyday experiences * Why accessibility benefits everyone * The relationship between disability rights and social justice * Community care, interdependence, and collective support * Creating more inclusive spaces and communities **Navigating the Austrian Support System** Many people are entitled to support but never receive it because the process of accessing services can be confusing, overwhelming, and difficult to navigate. This workshop will provide practical information about: * Behindertenpass (Disability Pass) * Pflegegeld (Care Allowance) * Accessible and supported housing options * Social work and counselling services * Eurokey access systems * Heimhilfe and personal support services * Community resources and support networks * Where to start when seeking assistance Participants will gain a clearer understanding of available services and how to access them. **Who Should Attend?** This workshop is open to: * Disabled people * Chronically ill people * Neurodivergent people * Deaf and hard-of-hearing people * Blind and low-vision people * Caregivers and personal assistants * Social workers and community organisers * Family members and friends * Anyone interested in disability justice and accessibility No previous knowledge is required. **About the Facilitator** **Deloria Patton** Deloria Patton is a disability justice advocate and educator dedicated to making information more accessible and helping people navigate systems that often create unnecessary barriers. Through community education, advocacy, and practical support, Deloria works toward greater accessibility, inclusion, and social justice. **Why This Workshop Matters** Disability justice starts with understanding that disabled people are often excluded not because of their bodies or minds, but because systems are designed without accessibility in mind. Many forms of support already exist in Austria. However, accessing them can feel like a full-time job. This workshop aims to make information clearer, more accessible, and more actionable. By understanding both the barriers and the available resources, participants can better advocate for themselves, support others, and contribute to more accessible communities. **Accessibility Information** This event takes place at Villa Vida Café, Linke Wienzeile 102, 1060 Vienna. Accessibility features include: * Step-free entrance * Wheelchair-accessible ground floor venue * Accessible toilet * Seating available throughout the event * Service animals welcome * Free drinking water available * Staff and volunteers available to assist when needed If you have additional accessibility requirements, please contact us before the event. We will do our best to accommodate individual access needs. Everyone deserves access to information, support, and community. We look forward to learning together and exploring practical ways to navigate systems while advancing disability justice in Austria.

Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs. In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling. The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options. **YouTube Link** TBD

More benefits in the hands of our disabled Veterans. We created Smart Search, the world’s largest consumer of Amazon Textract, right when GenAI began reshaping what’s possible. Since then, we’ve built a suite of AI‑driven solutions that transform this data into real, measurable outcomes—accelerating benefits decisions for our Nation’s Veterans. Join us for a focused conversation on how an outcome‑driven approach to AI is helping us boost accuracy, streamline workflows, and deliver faster results for those who have served.
