Come meet up with friends old and new! All LGBTQI-identifying folks welcome.

View the BOF listing on the Drupalcon Austin site.

Tuesday, 5:00PM, Room 8B - Unicon | 3rd floor

This BOF was the impetus, back in San Francisco in 2010, for the Drupal Rainbow group being created -- and we've been meeting up every year since. Join us!

If you have ideas on what you'd like to do or discuss, leave them in the comments. We could also go out somewhere afterwards!

No need to sign up here, but if you'd like to add it to your Drupalcon schedule, follow the link to the Drupalcon listing.

Partially :(

Unfortunately yeah it overlaps by a half-hour, I'm really sorry!

The women in Drupal is from 5:30 to 7:30:

This BOF is from 5:00 to 6:00:

I would have preferred a session during the day but there were literally no other BOF slots left (and this was like 4 hours after the scheduling opened).

If this doesn't work, though, we could just meet up somewhere another night. Or we could do both a BOF and a meetup another lunch/dinnertime. Open to suggestions!

Making an entrance

I'd be happy to start at the BOF and then head over to the Women in Drupal reception at 6. If we have a large contingent doing the same thing we could all walk en masse and make an entrance.

I will likely be attending
