for disabled people. Every year certain people are awarded for their
contributions and this year’s achievement category award went to Rian Rietveld for her contributions to
the WordPress core. She won the Heroes of Accessibility Awards, categorized
under the individual achievement category.
Other members include Karl Groves and Sally Shepard,
