I'm delighted to share that GitHub has been recognized on the Forbes Accessibility 200 list. But this recognition isn't about us, it's about what we're building with the disability community. Technology is intertwined into every aspect of modern life. As a person with a disability, I know that accessibility isn't a feature to add or a box to check. It's about empowering ~1.3 billion people with disabilities to live, work, learn, and play. The best way to build accessible technology is to incorporate people with disabilities into the development process. Not just as users, but also as builders, leaders, and innovators. That’s our big opportunity. With more than 180 million developers building on our platform, GitHub is the de facto home of global developer culture. It’s also the home of the open-source software that powers most of the applications and websites that we use every day. We started our accessibility journey five years ago with a strong commitment to the principle of “nothing about us without us.” With unwavering support from every level of the organization, we established accessibility as an Engineering Fundamental and then integrated accessibility into our product development lifecycle, our company-wide training programs, our Primer design system, and our user feedback processes. Today, we’re in the midst of an exceptional time in history. AI is redefining how developers work. The barriers to becoming a developer have collapsed. If you can imagine it, you can probably build it. Come join us. Let’s build it together. https://lnkd.in/e-SMkE-g

We're proud to be named a Leader in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Enterprise AI Coding Agents, highest in Ability to Execute, for the third year in a row. Learn more about our commitment to empowering developers and defining the future of software development. https://lnkd.in/g8RanJ7j

From closing issues to generating slide decks, what if you could automate your entire workflow with GitHub Copilot CLI? 🤔 Here's how to get started. 👇

Open Source Friday is back this week with Prachi Sethi from OpenMind. We’ll take a look at OM1, an open source platform built to bring cognition to robots across different hardware setups. Prachi will walk through how OM1 supports autonomy for platforms like Unitree, LimX, and Booster, plus how developers can get started locally on a MacBook, Ubuntu machine, Raspberry Pi, or TurtleBot. If you’re curious about robotics, open source, and building for real-world autonomous systems, this should be a fun one. Join us live on Friday, May 22 at 1 PM ET.

Age assurance laws are reaching down to operating systems and app stores. Anne Dickison (FreeBSD Foundation), Katie Steen-James (OSI), and Margaret Tucker (GitHub) break down what's happening across the US, Brazil, and Europe, and how maintainers can help shape policy that fits how open source actually works.

Today is Global Accessibility Awareness Day! Around the world, ~1.3 billion people live with disabilities, and all of them deserve technology that works for them.
