2025 Hack-A-Way
by Rogan Hamby 20 Mar '25

Good afternoon, I've been in communication with the leadership at Evergreen Indiana about the hosting of this year's Hack-A-Way. Unfortunately, they are not able to host it this year. They have a number of challenges that prevent them from doing so though I know they would love to if at all possible. So, I will be drafting a release for soliciting interest and including the rest of Outreach in the process.

Good afternoon, We are still getting Corey content for the annual report but she has already started producing sample pages so that we can see how it would look. Please review for feedback. I am quite happy with this visually so I do hope others are as well.

ducks-in-rows for accessibility press release

The new OPAC VPAT/ACR is now on the wiki, and the PDF is in the main site's WordPress media library: https://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/doku.php?id=accessibility:vpat It's very, very good compared to the 3.11 one. Tons of progress has been made! Some other things we might be able to mention: * PINES has done a bunch of cleanup work on 3.14 since this report was done * PINES (really Terran) is working on an updated KPAC, which will be an accessibility improvement * Equinox is about to start another round of OPAC accessibility work On the staff side, we've tackled most of the largest and oldest issues. Andrea and I have some stats we can pull together.
