Where in the World are the DrupalChix?

You are viewing a wiki page. You are welcome to join the group and then edit it. Be bold!

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 :-)

Anyway, a fancy Google Map with everyone's location would be cool, but I know many of us are not sure we want everyone in the world to know exactly where we are (sadly, that can be dangerous) but it would still be fun to have a general idea who is nearby. So I've started a very low-tech list on a wiki page that anyone can add their names to, and added a few locations to get it started.

Hi all.

I didn't precisely realize until now that we've got separate ids on groups.d.o. (vs. d.o.) So I added a link to both.

Looking forward to seeing more of us in the wiki:

This is definetly interesting

Wenya - Fri, 2008-06-27 06:19

I think this is a nice idea, too :) I'm looking forward to seeing if this group is this much concentrated in North America or if it's just that people in other parts of the world are still sleeping or working.

And Africa?

diricia - Fri, 2008-06-27 06:42

I cant' believe Africa was not added on the list of continents :-) To be complete I've added Australia as well. I think we can leave Antartica until we have convincing prove that there is a DrupalChix there.

I know 4 other DrupalChix in South Africa, Johannesburg. I'll get them to sign up.

I would love a Google Map of the people on the list. Is there a way to set the granularity of the map to show the city a person lives in, rather than the exact address? Or otherwise, to protect privacy, we could perhaps choose the city/suburb centre (as defined by the first person to post for that city) as our location. OR set your location as the closest coffee shop you would like to meet at :-)

I'm going to be travelling soon and would love to meet other Chix.

A nearby coffee shop as a location is an interesting idea -- could be both a place to meet and a way to tell who is where.

And I almost did add Africa,

KarenS@drupal.org - Fri, 2008-06-27 10:37

And I almost did add Africa, but I assumed there were probably no Chix there, which was obviously very wrong. So if someone is in Antarctica, please let us know :-)

i've added Oceania :-)

Shiny - Fri, 2008-06-27 21:20

i've added Oceania :-) for us non-continentals.

Twin Cities Drupal event

If you are a Drupal Chick in the midwest, you might be interested in our event, July 19 & 20th at the Science Museum of Minnesota in St. Paul -- Drupal Daze. Two days of Drupal & community media presentations, workshops and panel discussions! http://www.drupaldaze.com.

Let me know if you are interested in getting involved! We are still looking for presenters and volunteers -- and you get in free if you volunteer or present....

Drupalchix meetup in SF Bay Area

lizhenry - Mon, 2008-07-21 02:22

I'll help out with hosting a drupalchix meetup in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Thanks Angie for the tips, and helping people out today, and for presenting at BlogHer! It was so nice to meet you and I would love to come to a Drupalcon someday!

Nice to meet you all!

I wanted to be bold

But I'm tired, and couldn't figure out how to add myself in the Quebec slot. How embarrassing.

New to Drupal, stoked about Drupalchix

Some of us wander...

domesticat - Thu, 2008-10-02 16:49

Technically, I'm super-isolated out here in Alabama, but I do travel a good bit. I pop up often in Atlanta and less regularly in Seattle. I have never met another person who actually works with drupal. It'd be refreshing to have tangible evidence that I'm not the only one...

Hi all,

I found this group a couple of days ago! Have been using Drupal for a couple of months - so still quite new to it all.

Where are the other Ontario Drupalchix?

jsfwd - Fri, 2008-10-17 03:27

I can't be the only one...
