CEA Community Events Retrospective

I'd probably bet against this happening FWIW. Maybe a Manifold market?

Also, 100+ comments on the forum might not mean it's necessarily "heated"—a back and forth between two commenters can quickly increase the tally on any subject so that part might also need specifying further.

Congratulations to the EA Project For Awesome 2024 team, who managed to raise over $100k for AMF, GiveDirectly and ProVeg International by submitting promotional/informational videos to the project.

There's been an effort to raise money for effective charities via Project For Awesome since 2017, and it seems like a really productive effort every time. Thanks to all involved! 

One habit to make that second piece of advice stick even more that I often recommend: introduce people to other people as soon as you think of it (i.e. pause the conversation and send them an email address or list of names or open a thread between the two people). 

I often pause 1:1s to find links or send someone a message because I'm prone to forgetting to do follow-up actions unless I immediately do it (or write it down).

Maybe let the forum team know here (Toby's comment above) :)

That Notion link doesn't work for me FYI :) But this one did (from their website)

As someone guilty of this—sorry! This is a good reminder.

Sorry about this. It takes time to go back and forth internally with the team to write posts like this, to get them cleared and checked by various people but I think it's fair criticism that we ought to have gotten our act together sooner!

Thanks, I enjoyed these pieces! Really clear and well-structured.

Congratulations! I thought this was an awesome event :)
