Planning

INSTALL FEST

We’d like our track to be responsible for one Install Fest, which Nicole will lead/plan.

BoF LUNCHEON

We’d like to have a luncheon, targeted at women but open to both, labeled as the drupulchix BoF lunch. Nicole is going to scout for a location for this lunch. We’d like to do this lunch on Saturday.

Unless someone would like to sponsor this event (if you would, please contact us!), participants will be responsible for their own lunches.

BOOTH

We’ll have a table that is open throughout the entire camp. drupalchix will take timeslots at the table so that someone will always be there — hopefully men will be interested in helping as well. We’ll also invite representatives from other orgs, like Girls in Tech, Linuxchix, WIF, and??? (please recommend below, esp. if you are from an org) to join us for scheduled times at the booth so that interested people know they can come to the booth at specific times to also connect with other organizations.

SESSIONS

We will be reaching out to lots of women to submit session proposals. Hopefully lots of those proposals will be accepted so that we’ll have a high representation of women leading sessions. What can we do to help make sure that happens?

Sessions we already know there’ll be proposals for:
The basics: migrating a site from your desktop to live (including backup and security considerations). (Nicole & Rain together)
Module Development (through case-study) (Jen Lampton)
Playing with contributed modules (Nicole)
Social Networking – taking a website beyond a website (Rain & Nicole together or someone else who volunteers)
Collaborating with a high-end designer on a low budget drupal site. (Rain)
Large Site project management case study (who TBD, Rain or Nicole are backups)

PANEL

So, Chris’ panel idea has received a lot of positive responses. But the responders really are interested in hearing about the obstacles women face and having women talk about those obstacles. So, for this panel (Rain will moderate) we’d like to get three-four women who can both feature their work and do case studies of using drupal, and also answer questions that come up about the gender aspect.
