Drupalchix
The Drupal community can boast of many awesome women in its ranks. In spite of the welcoming environment, super-cool contributions, and generosity of the broader community, however, "many" still makes up a very small percentage of the overall community (exact number uncertain, but somewhere around 14-20%). Even more notable, however, is that only a small percentage of those women actively participate in the meet-ups, camps, code-sprints and other Drupal activities. So, the big question is: how do we change that?
Our goals:
Goal #1 WOMEN PROPOSING PRESENTATIONS AND LIGHTENING TALKS
WHAT: Encourage awesome Drupachix to propose great presentations and lightening talks that everyone, regardless of gender, will want to see. As a result, hopefully women who haven't made themselves known yet will take advantage of those sessions and ultimately become known to the community.
HOW YOU CAN HELP: Are you a woman with great module that you can present? Or who has built a really interesting site? Or who has a great take on project management for Drupal sites? Submit a presentation proposal!
Goal #2: SHOW JUST HOW EASY ENTRY REALLY IS
Consider hosting an install-fest for beginners!
Goal #3: NETWORKING
Get to know the Drupalchix in your local area and beyond. At LA Drupal, you can approach either
