We are active! Connect with us on the following channels to chat with other members and learn about our virtual meetups:
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. :)

Drupalchix at Twitter?
Who of you guys uses twitter? I'm connected to a bunch of the boys of Drupal, like MortenDK, Robert Douglass, Dries etc, but not that many girls (Except for http://twitter.com/webchick and a couple of others). You can find me at www.twitter.com/aschiwi.

Search Terms for Rearranging Columns
I'm looking for information on how to allow users to rearrange / drag and drop / hide or show columns.
I've got cck, views, and panels loaded.
What I can do:
Provide views to users
Allow users to organize their content types into a view in the order they want
Allow users to change the titles for the content types
What I want to do:
Allow users to control which columns are seen or hidden within a view
Allow users to rearrange, move, or shuffle (what is the term) the columns
There are plenty of references for mucking around with tables and rows, leafs, etc. using weights ..

Meeting in DC?
Aside from things like a BOF, I hope to meet all of you who are coming to DrupalCon. I'm very interested in learning about the things you all are doing. My days keep me pretty focused on business and the projects we're doing, so in many ways I feel really out of touch with the great stuff happening out there. Do you Twitter? I'm http://twitter.com/lauras

Help with webform module
I'm needing some help with the webform module. It shows up fine in Firefox, but in Internet Explorer any text fields that are not required, have an extra offset on the left hand side. You can see the form at http://www.finesse.com/trudo-optical. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Read moreWomen at Drupalcamp Cologne
Hi fellow Drupalchix,
I just got back from a weekend at Drupalcamp Cologne. We were about 220 people and I think I saw about 10 women, a few of which came with their husbands (but use Drupal themselves). I didn't actually talk to any of the women, there wasn't much time and I was busy getting to know everyone I already knew from #drupal.de IRC channel. So I don't really have much else to say about women at DrupalCamp, I just wanted to give you guys the info. I wonder why there are such few women using Drupal?
Oh well, for now I will invite the women who attended to this group :-)

Anyone going to Drupalcon looking for rooms to share (or have a room to share)? I'm arriving on the 3rd, leaving on the 8th, looking for a the right mix of pretty close and reasonably priced (optimally, I'd love to manage to spend less than $60-70 per night.)

SCALE 7X Women In Open Source conference accepting proposals
If any Drupalchix are in or around the Los Angeles area, you might want to check out the So Cal Linux Expo (SCALE) Women in Open Source event. It takes place on Feb. 20th just before the full-on SCALE conference. They're accepting proposals, in case you want to speak. I went there last year and gave a crash-course on Drupal, and it was a really cool group. :) They invite women involved in open source software to talk about any number of things, from technical information to management strategies to social issues.

Hello ladies,
So glad I found you!!! I am new to this group and to Drupal. My website MomFuse.com (www.momfuse.com) is beginning to outgrow Wordpress.. I've been thinking about switching to Drupal so I'm here to learn. I know absolutely nothing about Drupal so far, well.. I do know how to install it through my Cpanel lol.
Read moreDrupalCon
I'm looking for some advice. I've been using Drupal for ~4 years now. I am only a user, I haven't taken the plunge into coding or documenting. I know that I should, I am just over-committed as it is!
My question is, as someone that just USES Drupal, is DrupalCon for me?
I'd love to hear what you think, and perhaps I'll get to meet some of you @ DrupalCon DC (my current hometown!)
Thanks!

I just saw the announcement for DrupalCon in Washington DC. I'm stoked; it's a city I have friends in, and my employer's supportive of my asking to go. Not to mention that it's only a short plane hop away.
I'd be interested in helping put together a meetup, if there's interest.
