A community conversation is a space for community initiatives to discuss what they're working on with the community. 

This conversation is hosted by DD&I to talk about the ways that DD&I can best serve to make the Drupal community safer.   

The DD&I working group was founded after a session (co-presented by Nikki) and a BOF at DrupalCon 2016 in New Orleans.  Participants called for an ongoing process to continue this work.  Since then, we've continued the conversation every week, have created a space for discussion about these issues, and have made immense progress on diversity initiatives, including helping the Drupal Association craft the Inclusion Scholarship and learn more about presenter demographics for DrupalCon Baltimore.  We're proud of the work we've done, but we need more voices, and we need your help.

Agenda: 

  • overview of the group's accomplishments since DrupalCon Baltimore
  • current initiatives, current needs, and guide a conversation about the ways that DD&I can best serve to make the Drupal community safer.  
  • discuss plans for the group’s next year.
  • Nikki Stevens, DD&I founder and leader, will also announce the new leader of DD&I

Attend this conversation to have your voices heard, and affect change in the inclusiveness and diversity of the Drupal community.
