This is so exciting to see! I've been facilitating for EA Virtual Programs for years, and have anecdotally seen a significant uptick in participants from the African continent in the last year+. I'm very excited to see the growth of EA values & community in new regions. Thank you for writing this retrospective! (also, 11 valuable new connections per participant seems quite good, I think? So well done on that!)

LMK what the outcome is (if it works smoothly on chromebook after you do this stuff)!

As a developer of fellowships and courses in EA, this is something I constantly consider as a failure mode-- building something that's interesting, and delights impressive participants, but doesn't have a strong ToC that actually makes the world lower suffering in expectation. Thanks for making this post, it's a really important consideration that might be given too little credence much of the time!

Great to see! Does this signal an expanded interest in cause areas like wild animal welfare, assuming cost effectiveness/ tractability/etc were comparable?

This looks super cool! But is it only for linux for now? I also didn't realize how much the AIM association would pique my interest, reading that is what made me actually open the website! Either way, looks great, thanks for sharing!

Thank you so much for the acknowledgement, Vasco! As you know, I'm a huge fan of your work, so it's great to know our chats have been productive for you. 🤗

I get updates from all these lists emailed to me, and the EA Opportunities Board is one of my favorites because it often has part-time opportunities (eg fellowships, courses, part time work) which I think don't make it into some of the other lists' headlines (either because the opportunity is small, or too EA-niche). Just my two cents.

It only asked me for my name (not citizenship, residency, or address), so not sure if they cross check with a citizens directory or something, but the UK didn't require citizenship to answer a public consultation on the kinds of causes their international aid should go towards so it seems like they just allow anyone to give input. 

Done, thanks for posting this! Concrete ways to take action in a high-impact, low-input way are really nice to see on the forum!

Just sent a letter. This post was what pushed me to do it-- I am a CA voter and have never written a letter urging the governor to take action on legislation before, and I believe I wouldn't have done so without 1. reading this post and 2. reading Will MacAskill's comment on this post. So that's counterfactual impact on your part, nice one!
