Better Together Diversity Networking Lunch
summary
Community builds and runs Women and Machine Learning and Data Science with 63 chapters in 27 countries, ~30,000 members and 130 organizers, a free job board and local events — 184 events in 2018 and 94 by mid‑April 2019. Organizes scikit‑learn open‑source sprints (requires flying maintainers; sponsorships cover space/food) because public contribution rates are tiny — scikit‑learn contributors <1% and Python contributors ~2%. Policy: panels must be at least 50% women, codes of conduct are enforced and chapters get starter kits.
