This is great.  Definitely do more posts like this!  Extremely useful info.

PyLadies has benefited a ton from following what the Boston Python
Workshop, PyStar, and OpenHatch are all doing.  When people needed
help finding open-source projects to work on at our hackathon, we
pointed them to OpenHatch.  I try really hard to keep up with all your
happenings from the sidelines and point people to you whenever
possible.
