• Incubating new projects & orgs
• Lots of EAs in person, but possibly with no direction or who are solo actors (e.g. writing forum posts but not collaborating together)
• Replaceabiity : EA Rings but for Berkely - > but they can just run it themselves with a coordinator
• Failure mode: low chance of success - > actual goal is to increase engagement
• Run basic social events
• Logic: lots of peripheral people who’d easily be pulled in, easier to bring people from level 2 to level 5 investment (much more than philly)
• Failure mode : only old people come / unwelcoming environment
• How to reduce my workload: i will delegate work to minions, just need to come up with the ideas and be “on” for the events
• Career planning workshop
• Bring the engaged people who aren’t activated yet together to take steps in their career
• Failure mode: they don’t have promising options and just stay where they are
• Expand to include skilled volunteering & CB projects as well
• 10-20 person Retreat
• Build a sense of community for Bay Area potential CBs and make them see the vast possibilities for impact even as software engineers in a normal job
• Convince them that empowering others is very impactful
• Can also pair with career events & incubation / brainstorming sessions
• Failure mode: Getting the right mix of inspiring people
• EA Geneva fellowship / Skilled volunteering coordination - open applications
• Logic: people have time but don’t know how to effectively use it and need more dedicated help
• Failure mode: very time consuming and requires part-time person to run
