Drupal Rainbow

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

Rainbow Druplicon

This group is a place for gay/lesbian/bisexual/trans/queer/intersex Drupal community members and their allies to communicate with one another, collaborate together, and help get new members involved.

We aim to:

  • provide a nice welcome mat to other LGBTQI in the Drupal community that "we're here!"
  • provide a place to coordinate larger outreach into the non-Drupal-using (yet) LGBTQI community.
  • provide a "social" place for talking about LGBTQI issues and their relation to technology, employment in our field, interesting community opportunities, etc.
  • provide a "safe space" to have the sorts of "meta" community-impacting discussions, like gender, that tend to get ugly and heated when they're brought up in the issue queue with people who aren't as sensitive to them.

Read more about our history and organizers and the origin of our group's name.

Keywords: gay, lesbian, bisexual, trans, queer, intersex, gender variant, transgender, transsexual, FTM, MTF, pansexual, omnisexual....

Tabs Navigation

How can we get the tabbed content as a nav for the group the same way the NYC groups has it. I would find a separate tab for Jobs very useful here.

Drupal Rainbow gathering in Sydney?

Any other Rainbow Drupalers going to Drupalcon Sydney in February? If there's any interest, I could organise a Drupal Rainbow BoF/event. I'm from Melbourne, but sort of know Sydney well enough.

There are already a few other social events planned at http://sydney2013.drupal.org/community/events

The world-famous Sydney Mardi Gras opens on the 8th and I'm going to hang out at Fair Day on the 10th - http://www.mardigras.org.au/events/fair-day/

Excellent Blogs About Drupal

This is intended to be a smaller list, with a focus on quality, not comprehensiveness. What are your fave blogs about Drupal? Blogs you get the most out of reading? If you've got a fave and it's not here, please add it to the list.

What? No Drupal Rainbow gathering at DrupalCon Munich? Plan one here!

I'm surprised that nobody's planned an offsite Drupal Rainbow gathering! If someone would name a time and place -- a local, mixed, gay bar would be great -- I'll be there!

Drupal Rainbow BoF -- WrapUp Thursday 3/22/12

Great to meet everyone today at the BoF DrupalCon Denver.

Some really great conversations happening.

One thing that was discussed was what do we want Drupal Rainbow to be? When the first BoF was put together in SF DrupalCon we talked about using this group to promote our efforts, activities and opportunities in the Drupal Community, support one another in our efforts, and promote a space of open thinking and communication.

How do you see us continuing that effort in this group?
What are somethings that you want to see?

Facebook Share Link Displaying Wrong Picture

First and foremost, I'm new to Drupal. A developer set up my Drupal platform to manage 3 different websites within my one platform.

I'm having an issue with links being shared on Facebook, and the pic that Facebooks picks up from the coding is incorrect. Is there a way for me to set a default picture for each of the sites within my Drupal platform? And how would I easily do this?

I found this: http://www.left-click.us/blog/addthis-button-how-make-facebook-show-corr...

But I'm not sure how the above instructions would pertain to a Drupal platform that manages 3 different websites.
