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 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 :-)

Drupalistas Study Group rockin the sexy slider, er, uh, "slider popout panel module"

How to recruit women for jobs
Hi Drupal ladies,
I know this group is not for job postings, so I'll keep this to a 'meta' question about recruiting. I'm hiring for a full-time position in Los Angeles (several actually, but all but one are "mostly" filled now) and I've seen very little gender diversity in the candidates that my recruiters and my own HR department are sending me. Certainly less than the 17%. (I've reviewed at least 20 candidates, only one female.)
