The Black in Drupal Roundtable at DrupalCon Pittsburgh will serve as a forum to exchange ideas and information relevant to the experiences of being black in Drupal. Through this affinity space, we hope to create an environment for open dialogue that can support opportunities for community building and shared experiences. We will discuss topics that help foster a culture of collaboration by providing opportunities to share resources for advancing professional, social, and cultural growth.
The Black in Drupal Needs Assessment is scheduled for 7 June 2023 at 12:30 pm in Room 326.
