The EA Gather is an always-on virtual meeting place for coworking, socialising, and events. Join and help us maintain a community of effective altruists online! Feel free to read the norms below if you're uncertain what it's about, or just explore on your own.

If you want to host events here or find a place for your group to meet or host coworking sessions, get in touch! We have an event guide and we'd be happy to help.

Welcome!

Write yourself a status when you’ve had an intro tour, so we can identify newcomers and offer welcome them to the space.
If you’re familiar with the space, consider going to introduce statusless newcomers. Done well, this really contributes to the sense of community :)
You can use this document to introduce yourself, find people to accountability-partner with, or book 1-on-1s.

Interaction norms

Abide by the Platinum Rule as much as possible: do unto others as they would want done unto them.
Avoid using the [Everyone] chat unless warranted, as it pings everyone and can be distracting for people who are focusing. Use [Nearby] or send messages directly to recipients.
Write “topic:” (or “t:”) in your status followed by what you want to talk to people about. Also look out for other people with statuses like this and invite them to talk or help them out!
