Introduction
We are working to increase contributions to the Drupal project from individuals who are under-represented and/or marginalized in the Drupal community. Teams with diverse members make better products for more people. The dearth of diverse teams in tech, and in Drupal in particular, signals a culture where people of many different identities and backgrounds do not feel included in participating. By deliberately recruiting teams from spaces where people of diverse backgrounds collaborate, the DDI Contrib team is better positioned to have diversity in mind from the outset.
Smaller teams are better able to build an inclusive culture from the ground up, and enable one-on-one mentoring. A deliberately created initiative like the DDI Contrib Team is more likely to be visible and accomplish goals than perhaps impromptu teams or individual efforts.
It’s important to note that diversity should be intersectional, and consider race, gender, sexuality, disability, economic status, nationality, ethnicity, faith background, and speciality in Drupal/web development.

We welcome folks of all levels of Drupal experience, particularly those from under-represented or marginalized groups. We are finding ways to give commit credits to folks working in all skill sets, including non-code-focused work.
