One thing I’d really love to see happen is for live Workathons to spread to other cities outside of SF. To my mind, they represent the best part about EA: people coming together, and getting important shit done.
One soft goal that I have for the next year is to get Workathons going in at least 5 other cities besides SF. In places like NYC, Oxford, and Bern, there are definitely enough critical mass of EAs that this kind of event could be organized on a weekly basis.
Charity Science has four employees and has at least one, maybe two, interns for the next few months. There are three other effective altruists who live in the area, so they’d join in too. I’d organize them, except I live one town over from where Charity Science is located, and I currently work on the weekends. Is the goal for the Workathons to always be on Sundays, coordinated across the world? Either way, Vancouver, Canada could host a Workathon too.

Yeah, this would be awesome. I’ve loved seeing the Workathons spread so far. You can learn more about them on the .impact FB page.

Great idea! Are you in a position to make it happen? If not, whose help could you need? Anyone from those places interested?
I’ll cover the NYC.
Trondheim should also qualify.
