Who Else Do You Know?

I’m trying to compile a list of grassroots “learn to program” organizations that are explicitly trying to broaden participation in computing beyond the current white-and-Asian male demographic. So far, I know of the ones listed below; if you know of others, I’d welcome pointers. (Note: while I think that the Anita Borg Institute and others are doing great work, I’m mostly interested in groups trying to build new on ramps, rather than groups supporting women who are already in tech.)

    * Women & Mozilla (WoMoz): http://www.womoz.org
    * We put up a list in our wiki which you can choose from as well: http://womoz.org/wiki/doku.php?id=documents#other_women_s_groups
    * Akira Chix: http://akirachix.com/
    * Greenlight for girls: http://www.greenlightforgirls.org/ (though they don’t just broaden participation in computing: they also include science, maths, etc.)
    * you can also dig in 2 sections found here I guess: http://www.linuxchix.org/women-computing.html
