women in open source

Hi all,

I'd love to interview some of you.

I want to learn about your experiences and opinions on all things Drupal and the community.

If you're keen to talk, I'd love to know what the underrepresented side of Drupal has been achieving lately so we can shout about it together.

Hope to talk to you soon

Les compartimos las fotos del taller Women in Drupal que se realizo en el Drupal Camp Bolivia 2014

I'd love some discussion about WWeek's latest cover story about women in technology: http://wweek.com/portland/article-19236-where_the_tech_is_she.html

What do you all think about, in terms of ways to improve diversity in our community?

... actually they've been open for a while, but I kind of forgot to pass on the invitation!

Along with many of the other hats I wear, I also sit on the advisory board of the Ada Initiative. A non-profit focussed on increasing the participation of women in open technology and culture.

Drupal is a leader in this space, with many more women directly participating and taking leadership roles in the project than is usual in other open source and open culture communities.

Hey hey - a special call out to drupalchix in australia, new zealand and the asia pacific in general....

2 great conferences in Brisbane, Australia in January would LOVE to invite you to present.

The haecksen miniconf at LCA2011 is for women in free and open source software:

Or more info on what it's about: http://haecksen.net/node/6

Everyone should definitely check out Angie Byron a.k.a webchick's keynote on Women in Open Source. She was awesome (and so was Liza Kindred).

The overall numbers are shockingly bad, BUT in the Drupal community, we are lucky to have webchick. On top of her many contributions to the community she has made it one of her goals to help get women involved. This Drupalchix group is a small example of her efforts.

Hi DrupalChix!

I just got back from my first DrupalCon, and had the BEST time!! I don't think I got to meet many of you in person, so I'm saying hi now, and will be more active here in the future :)

Here's the link to my video (less than 2 min):

I'm on a drupal high after the conference, and am now trying to get new people excited about drupal too.

Hope you guys managed to avoid the drupal plague!

This is a neat idea:

If you admire a woman in "technology," (a huge arena, but it would be great to have some drupal/open source representation) add this to your calendar (March 24) and participate!
