Drupal Diversity & Inclusion: Volunteer-led strategies for the community
summary
Volunteer-run community group reports 650 people in Slack and weekly meetings and lists concrete outputs: a moderated safe-space channel, a jobs board, an approved resource library with curated articles, speaker-training and train-the-trainer workshops, a mentor spreadsheet to connect contributors, and a revamped gender field adopted for Drupal demographics. Organizing docs and an issue queue live on drupal.org, meetings happen Thursdays 9am Pacific, and the group asks partners to fund travel and sponsorships so diverse contributors can actually attend and stay.
