Thank you for creating the tag! I was also a CS major at Cornell who actually only took the intro OR class (which was great but my impression is that undergrad ORIE at Cornell is not taught efficiently otherwise).
As for your suggestions
Emily Tucker has nice list of broadly useful resources for academic OR but this could probably be improved for an EA audience
This is a great idea!
The open-source solvers are way behind the commercial ones in terms of performance so I am skeptical this has high EV. AFAICT, much of Gurobi’s licensing is customer specific, so I suspect non-profit orgs could get a steep discount if not a free license.
Jumping in on this comment thread: I would LOVE to see a collection of resources for self-teaching, either in the form of a well-organized syllabus if possible, or simply thrown together as a list with a short description of each resource. I’ve always felt bad that so much knowledge appears “locked” behind academia, and I am not able to access that knowledge (unless I have a GRE and a few recommendation letters and a 40,000 USD and two years to commit to the learning).
