DrupalCon Amsterdam 2019: Drupal Diversity & Inclusion: Volunteer-led strategies for the community

This talk features members of the Drupal Diversity & Inclusion (DDI) leadership team, focusing on the critical diversity challenges within the Drupal community as highlighted by Dries in the DrupalCon Seattle Driesnote. The presentation addresses specific issues faced by marginalized individuals in the community and outlines the initiatives DDI has implemented since its founding in 2016 to promote equity. Topics include the establishment of safe spaces for discussions, resource development, mentorship opportunities, and advocacy efforts aimed at improving representation and engagement. Attendees will learn about the current state of diversity and inclusion in Drupal, future plans for DDI initiatives, and how they can actively contribute to fostering a more inclusive environment in both the Drupal project and their local communities.
