Four years have passed since Rachel Olivero left us. Drupal revered her by naming the current default frontend theme, 'Olivero.' Drupal is now WCAG compliant, and our added support for ATAG 2.0 proves that we live by her legacy. Drupal encourages the use of assistive technologies. It is all the more important for a person with vision disabilities. Accessibility, Diversity, and Inclusion are the cardinal ideals we follow, and Rachel was involved in all these areas. Her memorial in Drupal.org recalls that as a person who was blind, transgender, and a lesbian, Rachel understood a lot about the importance of diversity. She passed away on February 03, 2019. Let us keep on her vision forward, keeping Drupal open and accessible for everyone.
