whoa, such cool initiatives! all added, thank you

I'm inviting the folks from http://codedoc.co to http://objcgn.com — we'll also screen their documentary. Does it qualify to enter in the list? Also, we have a special code "wwcode" that gives 30% from the Ticket price. Finally, I'm here because you (Anika) were recommended as a potential speaker from @orta :)

They've a scholarship program in partnership with Google: http://www.google.co.in/anitaborg/emea/

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.
