6:45 Welcome and Announcements
6:55 Lightning Talk: WebAssembly, Determinstic Execution, and how to

7:15 Main talk: Python, Accessibility, and Ensuring the DOM is 
Accessible (domible)


***** Lightning talk ******

*"WebAssembly, Determinstic Execution, and how to implement undo" 
presented by Tom Ballinger

*Let's write a WebAssembly program and talk about once reason the 
speaker cares about it: snapshotting and deterministic execution.

Tom Ballinger is a software engineer at Convex and has spoken at PyCon.


***** Main talk ******

*"Python, Accessibility, and Ensuring the DOM is Accessible (domible)" 
presented by Joel Dodson
*
In a tech news cycle dominated by ML and LLMs, are we letting Python get 
pigeon-holed? Is Python relevant outside the AI and Data Science 
domains? What should Python developers know about web development? And 
what is accessibility?

We will open with a very quick run through a very high-level 
presentation on accessibility, a11y (see 
https://joeldodson.github.io/pythonandaccessibility/). Then we'll dig 
into a Python package, domible, used to render accessible HTML elements 
on the server.

Domible is a set of Python classes used to render accessible HTML 
elements directly from your Python program. If you've used jinja (or any 
other templating library), I'd love to hear your thoughts. The code can 
be found at https://github.com/joeldodson/domible.

Joel Dodson (https://linkedin.com/in/joeldodson) is a software developer 
with over 20 years of experience building distributed platforms for 
telecom, voice and messaging applications, and APIs. He lost his sight 
in 2017 and has recently been learning front end development with a 
focus on accessibility. He's a big fan of Python but struggling to see 
it being used more for web development.
