Hi Joshua, I know that Data Carpentry is currently working with a couple of professional organizations to run workshops in conjunction with or shortly after their annual conferences. Tracy has more details on this, but I know that both of these organizations are diversity/minority focused. I believe one is Chicano/a serving and the other a Native American serving organization.
