The W3C recently released a draft of the Accessibility Roles and Responsibilities Mapping (ARRM) framework—a practical tool for open source teams to better define and share accessibility responsibilities across roles. In this session, we’ll explore how ARRM can help open source maintainers, designers, developers, content contributors, and community leaders collaborate more effectively on accessibility goals.

Whether you’re maintaining a solo project or coordinating a large contributor base, ARRM offers a roadmap to embed accessibility into your workflows and culture—without burning out a single “accessibility lead.” Learn how adopting ARRM can help your project move from one-time audits to continuous improvement, and why accessibility is a shared responsibility—not just a technical checklist.
