We’re having another maintenance window tonight from [2](00 to 23:00 PDT”:http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?month=10&day=15&year=2009&hour=22&min=0&sec=0&p1=224). We will be installing and testing the “sorry server” that will be enabled if no frontends are available to serve requests. Instead of just refusing connections, this server will point you to the Twitter status feed and display information on surviving when GitHub is down. In order to test that everything is working properly we will need to deliberately remove all the frontends from the load balancer for a small period. Git and SSH access to repositories will be unaffected during this period.
A11y Design Bootcamp is a live educational program that consists of exercises, discussions, and knowledge shares to raise awareness of web accessibility best practices, the role designers play in creating accessible products, and how to advocate for accessibility with cross-functional partners.
As part of GitHub's dedication to accessibility, we expanded our internal accessibility program and scaled up our assessment process to help remove or lower barriers for users with disabilities. Then, we empowered employees from various disciplines to drive accessibility efforts within their teams.
