Day 1:

Hello @channel, this week is the accessibility practice area's quarterly retrospective. Please go ahead and take some time today to fill out the columns in our retrospective board. Add project milestones that have occurred since the last retrospective (March 25th). Add thoughts (as notes) to each column "LOVED," "LONGED FOR," "LOATHED" and "LEARNED."

If you have trouble adding notes to that board let us know and we will get you added to the :ca: GitHub team. Also if you have any questions please post them in the channel. Thank you!
