ownCloud is an open source project that enables you to set up a cloud storage infrastructure on your own server - as a self-hosted alternative to commercial providers.

The project with the codename "Phoenix" is the new user interface for ownCloud on the Web. It is currently being implemented as a Single Page Application (SPA) in the JavaScript framework Vue.js, and its source code is as available online.

I was able to support ownCloud as follows:

• Help building and extending a pattern library with accessible interface components. This included refactoring existing components and creating new ones.
• Documentation of existing or emerging components with a focus on technical accessibility, best practices, affected user groups and assistive technologies
• support for non-component-based measures for accessibility in Phoenix, such as general keyboard focus management
• General workshop sessions on barrier-free access via video telephony or on site
