Marei<p>[1/3] <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/DANTE2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DANTE2025</span></a> Friday starts with “Storytelling with Frank [Mittelbach]”. He admits that it took a while for himself to realize how bad we treated users relying on assisting technology like screen readers! He tries to give a rough overview of this impression by playing screen reader recordings of an untagged document compared to the work the tagging-project did so far. The examples can be found at <a href="https://latex3.github.io/tagging-project/documentation/wtpdf/fulldoc" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">latex3.github.io/tagging-proje</span><span class="invisible">ct/documentation/wtpdf/fulldoc</span></a></p><p><a href="https://chaos.social/tags/a11y" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>a11y</span></a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/TeXLaTeX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TeXLaTeX</span></a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/LaTeX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LaTeX</span></a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/TeX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TeX</span></a></p>
Marei<p>Afterwards Erik Braun roughly explained the technical infrastructure and changes of last year to cleanup the historically grown server blob. A lot of stuff was improved but there still is a lot of work left and <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/CTAN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CTAN</span></a> is once again asking for volunteers.</p><p>So in case you have too much free time or always wanted to clean up, automate or document old infrastructure… You are welcome to join them!<br>(And I always offer cookies when uploading a package update… you can take those!)</p><p><a href="https://chaos.social/tags/DANTE2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DANTE2025</span></a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/TeXLaTeX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TeXLaTeX</span></a></p>
Marei<p>During the coffee break Mr. Lion and his friend Bär again received some presents by the amazing <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@samcarter" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>samcarter</span></a></span> <br>Thanks a lot!</p><p>They all lined up for a group photo. So probably we have to make some <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/TikzLing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TikzLing</span></a> and lion cookies soonish. </p><p>So in case you need another reason to attend the next conference we travel … We can talk about some cookies … ;-)</p><p><a href="https://chaos.social/tags/DANTE2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DANTE2025</span></a></p>
Marei<p><a href="https://chaos.social/tags/DANTE2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DANTE2025</span></a> is starting at the University of Applied Sciences Darmstadt. </p><p>Mr. Lion and me are extremly curious about discussions and expecting a boost concerning tagging and accesibility of <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/TeXLaTeX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TeXLaTeX</span></a>.</p><p>We already realized yesterday, that there is too little time for all the projects we are working on… but … we are all trying our best.</p><p>I will try to sum up the talks below this.</p><p><a href="https://chaos.social/tags/TeX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TeX</span></a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/LaTeX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LaTeX</span></a></p>
Marei<p>EN in first answer.</p><p>Die <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/DANTE2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DANTE2025</span></a> startet an der Hochschule Darmstadt. </p><p>Der Löwe und ich sind startklar gespannt auf die Diskussionen. Vermutlich wieder viel zu tagging und Barrierefreiheit. </p><p>Gestern beim Vorabendtreff haben wir schon festgestellt, dass alle hier noch viel zu viel Dinge getan haben wollten… aber leider hat der Tag nur 24h … aber wir bleiben dran.</p><p>Unter diesem Toot versuche ich wieder etwas die Vorträge zusammenzufassen.</p><p><a href="https://chaos.social/tags/TeXLaTeX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TeXLaTeX</span></a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/TeX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TeX</span></a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/LaTeX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LaTeX</span></a></p>
