> - The University of Indianapolis compsi department:
> http://math.uindy.edu/ (I don't know how far away the other UI
> campuses are: http://www.indiana.edu/campuses/index.shtml, but maybe
> they're worth reaching out to too)
> - IUPUI Women in Tech: http://www.iupui.edu/~getwitit/

Also done:
Eventful.com
aroundindy.com

I haven't done these yet, either because they're Purdue groups (seem
natural for Mel) or I'm not a member:

And then there's these, where I still need research (and help from
IndyPy) to figure out who exactly the targets should be:

> - Tech companies in the area
> - Tech bloggers in the area
