As a community I think we agree that we need to get more people interested to join our little neck of the woods. So how about sharing what we’ve found to be great groups and causes over the last year so we can all find and work together on those in 2015. Some that we worked with and enjoyed:

http://www.resilientcoders.org/ - Talked to a group of students there, really interesting cause. If you’re in Boston definitely reach out to David (happy to introduce as well)

http://railsgirls.com/ - We helped out with a few of those events in Austria. Has always been fun and a great way to help more women get started in software development

https://codestarter.org/ - Collects donations to give laptops to kids to get into programming and CS. Great initiative started by Tom and Theresa Preston-Werner where we happily donated a laptop (and so should every other funded Startup)

What are organisations, events or causes that you’ve found great and that the community should support? Which cities do you need help in?

If you’re looking for help in either Boston, MA or Vienna, Austria reach out to me: flo@codeship.com
