      There have been several discussions about this topic, including my own: "Startup America Should Look Like America" http://bit.ly/fuqcBB.

      There are groups that are forming to address the need for diversity in the tech world.

      The "Black Founders" Kickoff Launch Event is on Thursday, March 24th, 2011 at www.meetup.com/BlackFounders/events/16882191/
      The Plancast event details are here: http://plancast.com/p/4cq2

      Meanwhile, I hold Office Hours weekly at the Alembic in San Francisco, something I've been doing on and off since 2008[0] (and based off of a friend's office hours, same time same place, which he starting holding in 2007).

      If you'd like free, abrasive, honest advice, suggestions, etc, feel free to show up:

      Bonus: it's free. Interesting people sometimes show up (other than myself, of course).

      There is also http://plancast.com and http://lanyrd.com (though the latter is aimed more at conferences). I haven't found either to be that effective in promoting an event, but since it's free to create an event, it may not hurt.

      Facebook Events may have its drawbacks (the login wall), but I've found that sharing an event via Facebook - as opposed to email with Evite, Eventbrite, Meetup, etc - can be slightly more effective. That's just my experience though.
