Instructions for adding speaker/organizer info using "edit this page" on GitHub directly.

Hi @jlooper ! If you'd like, I'd be happy to contribute to the contributing document with instructions for adding an entry to the README via editing the page on GitHub directly.

I maintain similar kinds of instructions for the open source project I maintain and also in a guide on my personal site for contributors to our documentation site where often people are just making very small content edits. Often, just doing this in the browser is sufficient for those kinds of changes, especially when people aren't necessarily looking to maintain a fork (and, that's in fact how I made my own PR last night).

If you're not interested, no worries; just close this issue! Just offering!

Looking for help: alphabetizing by last name

I'd be grateful if someone could go through the submissions (Europe and US especially) and make sure they are listed alphabetically!

Possible collaboration with Speakerinnen.org

There is a very similar initiative, an international women* speaker directory already working as a website, at https://speakerinnen.org :)

It’s fully open source too at https://github.com/rubymonsters/speakerinnen_liste

Maybe you are already aware of it. If not, might be good to talk to @zaziemo @tyranja from the project.

Alphabetize list

Alphabetize list - seems like we need this now since the list is growing

Require consent or direct opt-in

I'm a big fan of this repository and its intentions, but it was brought to my attention that women can be added to the list without their consent. I suggest that we require direct opt-in or written consent (by for example email), as lists like this one are often used for targeted harassment and we generally want to encourage a consent-first practice.

I'm one of the directors on the .NET Foundation board of directors and involved with the outreach and diversity action group, and we would love to be able to recommend this site as a place to find female mentors, speakers and more- but we also want to be careful with recommending lists where the people on the list have not opted in or consented to be added.

I understand that it can be difficult to gather consent after the fact (but it is doable), but maybe at least we can start by requiring that a new person has consented or opted-in.

This would also help following the GDPR and similar directives and laws regarding data collection, privacy and managing data to avoid future issues and encourage good practices.

Fantastic work, and what an incredible list of amazing people!

speakerinnen.org

... posting this as an issue instead of PR since I am not sure where to put it:

speakerinnen.org provides a large list of female speakers covering diverse topics (mostly Europe / Germany): https://speakerinnen.org/

There are Speakers listed under the wrong countries

I'll tidy this up, but it might be better if we split out by country to avoid further complications.

I'll have a look this weekend

Clarification about Getting Started

Hi!

Thank you for creating this incredible resource. :)

Just looking for some clarification about the Getting Started category that I couldn't find in the documentation.

Is this category for people who are new to the industry in terms of career and open to opportunities, mentoring, other. Or who may or may not be new to the industry but are new to the speaking/organising space who want to get involved/experience?

Thanks!

Re-organization

Would you be interested in having the data split out into separate files and folders to make it a bit easier to sort and view just the areas you are looking for? For instance, having a speaker directory with a US file and a Canada file, etc.? I'm happy to do the restructuring, but wanted to know if this was of interest to you first.
