[pydata-outreach-staff] Places to do outreach

I was thinking these might be good places to send out a note about the 
event, and a suggestion that people sign up.

PyLadies NYC: I see that 
http://www.meetup.com/NYC-PyLadies/events/94012262/ is a PyLadies 
NYC-hosted info page for the event; that's superb! It might be nice to 
send a reminder to their mailing list.

Columbia and NYU Women in Computer Science mailing lists. I can work on 
this, unless someone else wants to take point on it.

Python NYC meetup. I can take point on this too, same as above.

I will also email some friends to see if they'd find it interesting.

I saw at least one Philadelphia person sign up on the "I'm interested" 
spreadsheet, so it might be worthwhile to send the info to the Philly 
Python User Group, too.

My baseline goal is 20 attendees, and I'm hoping for ~28-30 signups and 
expecting a ~30% no-show rate (though fewer no-shows would be nice).

Anyone have other ideas that come to mind as sources of attendees?
