I wrote an article about why I use #VersionControl for my local files for Both.org. Files change frequently, often go through multiple revisions, and benefit from clear history especially when it comes to time to use them for collaboration with other folks..

A lot of my work for the Linux Foundation Education team is helping people collaborate on certification content.

I wrote about that process and why it matters in this article for @LinuxGeek46 including the coordination, facilitation, and care that happen long before a badge exists.

I’ll be speaking at @badcamp about a challenge many of us face: balancing security with accessibility.

Security features like captchas, timed logins, alert pop-ups, gated content, and modals are meant to protect—but they can also block access for people using assistive technology.
In this session, we’ll cover:
• How some security measures create barriers for users with assistive technology
• How different user agents interact with digital assets
