Hi @KirstieJane,
I had a chance to talk to some friends in Silicon Valley about this project and they were very excited. One friend, in particular, who runs events around the area was especially interested in increasing diversity at conferences. Let me know if you'd like me to connect you two!

Thanks,
Gurpreet

Hey @grprtkal - I'd love to be in contact with your friends in Silicon Valley.

If you can let them know about the Mozilla Science Lab Global Sprint on 2nd and 3rd June that would be great. I'll be in Berkeley, CA and online and definitely up for getting in touch with them.

(I might be in touch before but I'm finding myself rather swamped at the moment and I don't want to promise too much!!)

Athen Swan: http://www.ecu.ac.uk/equality-charters/athena-swan/ are a big org that I'm sure would be interested in helping out/promoting the app!

Also In2science are a local organisation that we work with in Oxford that have a similar mission http://in2scienceuk.org might a good organisation to get in touch with.
