We recently founded CodeCats.io a student-run coding initiative. It sits somewhere between workshop and network. I'd be more than delighted to see us added to the list.

Hi, I created and maintain a diversity index "50-DI" of grants, scholarships, travel bursary and/or financial aid offered to women (including those who identify as women in a way that's significant to them) from ALL around the world. I'll add your list there and anyone is free to file a PR for the different conferences and scholarship lists I maintain. Thanks.

At the beginning "Java Duchesses France", but in the meantime multi-disciplinary. The young women are highly active in France, in press and on conferences. They also organise "speaker" training sessions for women in IT.
