Drupalchix

Only about 1.5% of the people involved in open source are women, leaving us terribly underrepresented. In the Drupal world, we're up to a whopping 7% 10% 17%, which only gets us to awfully unrepresented. ;) This group is for anyone (male, female, or otherwise) who believes that we can do better and wants to help.

So if you:

  • are a woman who needs some help/guidance in order to get (more) involved with Drupal and the Drupal community
  • are a woman who wants to network and get to know other women involved in Drupal
  • are anyone who has ideas on things we can do to help encourage women to participate in Drupal

...then this is the group for you. :)

This group is specifically not for job postings, so please keep those off this list. Thanks.

DrupalChix Logo, shirts, etc

The results of a longggg and lively discussion are in. The logo is:

Thanks to cncoleman and heather for most of the design work, to Ariane for pushing things to a vote and tabulating the results, and to marc for getting the whole thing started.

Where in the World are the DrupalChix?

There have been a number of comments about how to find other women in Drupal. We're scattered around, but maybe not as much as we think. And it would be nice to know if there are other DrupalChix nearby. Maybe it could even lead to some regional DrupalChix get-togethers :-)

DrupalCon Denver t-shirts: XXL women's now available

Just a quick note. I noticed that the popup at https://association.drupal.org/denver2012 had men's t-shirts for DrupalCon Denver up to 3X, but women's only up to 1X. Neil Kent confirmed that the printing company only offers women's shirts to 2X, and added that size to the selection.

Really? Only one woman featured among speakers on the front page for DrupalCon Denver?

Go Angie for being the one, but where is everyone else? Mitchell Baker is the keynoter and the only other female featured speaker listed on the site.

http://denver2012.drupal.org/

Maybe it's just me, but this is one of the things I look at when determining if I'm going to hustle and lobby to get to go to a conference. I don't want to be the only woman there and more importantly I want to hear from a wide variety of leaders in the community.

The High Visibility Project

Someone in my Twitter feed (rupl?) told me about this once but I didn't get the chance to look at the time, but I got reminded of it again tonight when I saw it noted by Jacine:

http://highvisibilityproject.org/

This is a collection of videos from women in open source and technology talking about their experiences, what got them into the field, what they do, etc. Would be awesome to see some Drupalchix representation over there! I'm going to try and make a video this weekend, too. :)
