Initial mirror of the HPE Design System

Readable mirror of https://design-system.hpe.design, sourced from github.com/grommet/hpe-design-system (Apache-2.0) at commit 567c4d5 (2026-07-16). The upstream site is a client-rendered Next.js export with no sitemap; it returns a 1.5 KB empty shell to curl. This repo is the same guidance in plain Markdown with every value resolved, plus the assets checked in. Docs: scope and authority model, brand foundations with resolved color and spacing tables, the design token tiers and version map, UI copy rules, accessibility conformance and the responsibility split, the component and template inventory, and an adoption/review checklist. Assets: 452 SVG icons, 5 HPE and Aruba word-marks, 282 documentation graphics. HOWTO-mirror-the-design-system.md is a verified runbook for rebuilding this from scratch against a newer upstream. Colors were resolved programmatically, not transcribed: token JSON stores references, not values. Apache-2.0 upstream. Note that it covers copyright, not trademark; Brand Central remains authoritative for the HPE marks.

+Hello, my name is Bill Tipton and
+
+00:07.025 --> 00:09.334
+I work for Hewlett Packard Enterprise
+
+00:09.334 --> 00:10.925
+as a Product Accessibility Champion.
+
+00:12.358 --> 00:14.425
+As part of my responsibilities,
+
+00:14.725 --> 00:18.096
+I educate and advise our product designers,
+
+00:18.096 --> 00:20.289
+developers, and decision-makers
+
+00:20.289 --> 00:23.225
+on accessible user experiences.
+
+00:24.925 --> 00:27.399
+Unfortunately in May of 1999,
+
+00:27.399 --> 00:29.610
+I suddenly went completely blind.
+
+00:29.974 --> 00:33.174
+Since then, I have used a screen reader daily
+
+00:33.174 --> 00:35.825
+to access the internet and other
+
+00:35.825 --> 00:37.325
+digital technologies.
+
+00:38.725 --> 00:41.281
+I often experience what it is like
+
+00:41.333 --> 00:43.149
+to attempt to use software with
+
+00:43.425 --> 00:47.525
+many accessibility and usability issues.
+
+00:48.425 --> 00:51.414
+It is not a pleasant feeling or experience
+
+00:51.414 --> 00:54.811
+when you are excluded from accessing a product
+
+00:54.811 --> 00:58.705
+due to technical issues that could have easily
+
+00:58.705 --> 01:01.347
+been avoided if somebody took the time
+
+01:01.347 --> 01:05.525
+to incorporate accessibility early in the
+
+01:05.525 --> 01:08.499
+design or development process.
+
+01:09.845 --> 01:12.841
+Although I am a member of the disabled community,
+
+01:13.225 --> 01:16.225
+I cannot speak for all people with disabilities.
+
+01:17.325 --> 01:20.106
+However, I personally would like the chance
+
+01:20.120 --> 01:21.634
+to be able to use all
+
+01:22.025 --> 01:25.925
+digital technologies including software effectively,
+
+01:26.325 --> 01:28.922
+so I am able to participate equally
+
+01:28.922 --> 01:31.823
+in all of life's digital opportunities.
+
+01:31.800 --> 01:35.525
+Through direct engagements, live demonstrations,
+
+01:35.725 --> 01:37.425
+and usability evaluations,
+
+01:37.825 --> 01:42.525
+I highlight the requirements, design standards, and value
+
+01:42.278 --> 01:43.897
+to our business success
+
+01:43.897 --> 01:47.025
+by supporting a diverse set of user personas,
+
+01:47.325 --> 01:51.625
+including our valued customers with disabilities.
+
+01:52.725 --> 01:56.255
+I encourage all researchers, product designers,
+
+01:56.255 --> 01:59.391
+developers, product managers, and others
+
+01:59.391 --> 02:03.284
+to incorporate accessibility and usability to create
+
+02:03.284 --> 02:06.671
+more accessible products and experiences.
+
+02:06.682 --> 02:09.119
+In life and in our work,
+
+02:09.119 --> 02:12.625
+it is important to continuously advocate for
+
+02:12.625 --> 02:14.900
+inclusive environments for all,
+
+02:14.926 --> 02:17.441
+including becoming an ally for our
+
+02:17.425 --> 02:18.725
+disabled community.
+
+02:19.425 --> 02:20.299
+Thank you, and now
+
+02:20.299 --> 02:22.025
+let's go out and create some positive change.
