Drupal Diversity

Drupal project founder Dries just published a blog post entitled Fostering inclusivity and diversity.

I took this photo at DrupalCamp Sydney last weekend. Not only were these three men from very different parts of the world, but they also had different levels of expertise, and different interests. Sure, no women in this picture, but I was taking the photo ;-)

Difference is a good thing. Erynn Petersen spoke at DrupalCon Austin about the real bottom line advantage diversity brings to teams. She also spoke about the importance of tolerating some level of conflict and dissent. It makes us stronger. Challenging and testing ideas usually makes those ideas better.

It's a balancing act.
