Women in Drupal (Formerly DrupalChix)

We encourage users to post events happening in the community to the community events group on https://www.drupal.org.

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. :)

DrupalChix Logo files

Posting a bunch of the DrupalChix logo files here for posterity, so everyone can find and use them whenever they need!

I had to turn the big file from Naxoc into a .gz file to upload it here, but FYI it contains several .pngs in different colours plus on .eps file. This is the file "drupalchixlogos.tar_.gz"

UPDATED:
Got the other set from Rainbreaw, which is the file "drupalchixlogos2.tar_.gz" - it has the two different versions of the Drupalchix logo that they created for LA Drupal. She says:

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 :-)

User group meeting

Hey all, I went ahead and created a BOF for us at DrupalCon Global. Co-facilitators are welcome!

I tried to make the language as inclusive as possible, but focused on femmes. If anyone want to make the case that trans men and masculine nonbinary folks should also be included, I’d be glad to discuss. I always find it hard to define and it depends on what our goals are for the meeting.

Where are all the awesome women in Drupal?

I joined Drupal last year when the company which hired me from campus placed me in a Drupal team. I've fallen in love with open source in general and Drupal in particular since then. It is always exciting to meet other women who are interested in the same technologies. I was delighted when I discovered this group but I've noticed that it's been more or less dead over the past couple of years. (Barely 10 posts over the course of two years!). So where are the women in Drupal? Is there some other group that I don't know about? Or are we just too busy :( ?
