Women and Drupalcon: 7%

Submitted by robin on September 20, 2007 - 6:54am.

It was noted on the first day of Drupalcon that 93% of attendees are men. After talking with a couple of
other women working with CivicActions, I decided it was worth setting up a Birds of a Feather session: The Other 7% - Women and Drupal.

At lunch time today, about 12 of us met up and it was great to meet some women in the community whose names I see regularly online like karens,webchick, add1sun, Allie Micka. We took some time to introduce ourselves and discussed how to encourage more women to join the Drupal community.
