A different way of thinking about the “gold rush” idea is that EA has achieved product-market fit. We know we have a set of ideas that are valuable to people and that people want. Now is the time for the hockey stick growth curve.
I really like this and the funnel stuff cribbed from for profit orgs. I see the biggest value add of EA being broadly characterizeable as getting non-profits to start doing all the effective things for profits do.
My guess is that it would be useful to have meetups have a strong component of people talking about earning to give. Their experience with it, how they set it up, etc. A large influx of people means most of them will not be joining EA orgs to work on things directly.
Is anyone working on adapting this guide to EA startups to supply meetups with a default agenda? This should lower the frictional costs associated with organizers who may have access to a venue not knowing what to do.

That would be great. There are some shorter guides already, which are indexed on the EA wiki, including the excellent one by Sam referenced in the comment by Ben above.

This has been done to death, but perhaps under advertised. See the list of various EA chapter guides at http://effective-altruism.com/ea/a6/outreaching_effective_altruism_locally_resources/
