This seems like it involved some difficult decisions. Thanks for selecting what sounds like it was most reasonable and explaining here.
I guess my main take-away is not anything about the details of this event, but rather the point that it seems like it’s become more urgent/important for more work to be done in this area.
It seems to me like the previous few EAGs were done with relatively few people, and now there’s an opportunity for a bunch more work.
I’m a bit curious; how big of a challenge does this feel for CEA, and are there ways you think community members could help out? (For instance, applying to CEA to help run similar events, or holding more local meetups, etc.)
Thanks for asking Ozzie! The current bottlenecks limiting our ability to make a larger EA Global are not things that community members can easily help with.
That being said, we recently published a post on other types of events. I would encourage community members to read that and consider doing one-on-one’s, group socials, or other events listed there. Even though EA Global in particular is not something that can be easily scaled by the community, many other types of events can be.
More involved community members may also consider doing a residency. I believe you and I first met when I stayed in the Bay for a few weeks many years ago, and to this day I’m still more closely connected with people I met on that trip than many I met at EA Global.
