women in open source

Everyone should definitely check out Angie Byron a.k.a webchick's keynote on Women in Open Source. She was awesome (and so was Liza Kindred).

The overall numbers are shockingly bad, BUT in the Drupal community, we are lucky to have webchick. On top of her many contributions to the community she has made it one of her goals to help get women involved. This Drupalchix group is a small example of her efforts.

Hi DrupalChix!

I just got back from my first DrupalCon, and had the BEST time!! I don't think I got to meet many of you in person, so I'm saying hi now, and will be more active here in the future :)

Here's the link to my video (less than 2 min):

I'm on a drupal high after the conference, and am now trying to get new people excited about drupal too.

Hope you guys managed to avoid the drupal plague!

This is a neat idea:

If you admire a woman in "technology," (a huge arena, but it would be great to have some drupal/open source representation) add this to your calendar (March 24) and participate!
