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. :)
The High Visibility Project
Someone in my Twitter feed (rupl?) told me about this once but I didn't get the chance to look at the time, but I got reminded of it again tonight when I saw it noted by Jacine:
http://highvisibilityproject.org/
This is a collection of videos from women in open source and technology talking about their experiences, what got them into the field, what they do, etc. Would be awesome to see some Drupalchix representation over there! I'm going to try and make a video this weekend, too. :)

Requirements Analysis
Hi all,
I'm working on creating a requirements analysis template for our projects, and I'm wondering what your thoughts are on necessary or best practices in a requirements analysis. Either in terms of content, structure, or anything at all really! Just thought it would be interesting to get your thoughts on this very important part of the planning process. I'd love to hear from you.
Thanks!

Just an FYI, I know it's WAY too early in time to think about this.
For Drupalcon Denver, I'm going to make sure the drupalchix BoF's and social event(s) are on the schedule early. ;-)
I'm, of course, totally open to help with either or both of these, but just wanted to let the rest of the Drupalchix community know that the Drupalcon Denver team has drupalchix well in their focus.
Looking forward to seeing you Drupalchix in Denver in March. It's going to be a great event.

Hi there,
I'm a new to Drupal with ~2 months of experience with it. I recently started as a PM with a company here in Portland, but I'm looking for ways to contribute to the Drupal community outside of my job.
