Hi all,

Sorry if this is really inappropriate to post this here.

To answer the really awesome technical-focused Slack communities created by
the venerable Marcy Sutton & Steve Faulkner, I¹ve created a Slack
specifically for Policy geeks to commune and talk shop. I didn¹t feel like
there was enough places for those of us who have an odd obsession with
specifications and regulations. It could also serve as a place to help
others understand the often murky wording of standards. If you¹re itching
to learn more about the impetus for this Slack, feel free to read my blog
post about it at
https://metzessible.com/introducing-accessibility-policy-social-hour (I¹m
still working out some accessibility kinks, so bear that in mind).

You can get an invite by signing up on my website (thanks to Sina Bahram for
setting this up!): https://a11ywonks.metzessible.com.

If you use a screen reader, I recommend either using the Slack iPhone app or
connecting via IRC. When you get your invite worked out, go to
https://a11ywonks.slack.com/account/gateways and under the H3 ³Getting
Started² use the information for Host, User, and Pass accordingly. Remember
to connect with SSL on your IRC Client.

Thanks, and I look forward to chatting with you!
