Joomla! Accessibility Team (Christiane Maier-Stadtherr, Viviana Menzel)

GAAD Pledge. There is an initiative called GAAD Pledge of the GAAD Foundation: https://gaad.foundation/gaadpledge/. If Joomla wants to participate we must have a commitment on how to
- Prioritise Accessibility bugs to achieve WCAG conformance level of 2.1 AA
- Publish Accessibility coding standards
- Documentation/Quickstart that includes accessibility in the examples
- Add an accessibility label to Github issues to encourage reporting of more accessibility bugs.
We will collect all open questions concerning this Pledge.

* Maintainer Docker (Llewellyn van der Merwe):

Proposed improvements to images.
We need to reachout to other docker deployment providers of Joomla like Bitnami who still only ship Joomla 3 to encourage and help them to ship Joomla 4 instead.
We need an auto deployment path of the CMS in the Docker world.
Images were updated to v4.1.3 and v3.10.9

Documentation Team (Mike Brandner)

This article might be useful for the documentation of the Two Factor Authentication, either linked or partially copied (read: taken as inspiration).

Software Architecture & Strategy Team (Niels Braczek)

Investigating possible approaches for extended composer support.

CMS Release Team (Sigrid Gramlinger)

For new features, often user documentation is missing. This makes it sometimes difficult for testing, for marketing, for documentation… We had the idea that all new features could have a short video introduction by the contributor or some other person involved in the feature development. This could be just a recorded meeting with a team member of documentation or release team (i.e.) where features and behaviour are explained. The video might take only a few minutes. Sigrid and the team will try this with at least one new feature in 4.2 and evaluate.
We are discussing our team role.
