You can start a Less Wrong Meetup in Glasgow, or plan to travel to the London one once in a while.

Which one of these opportunities will give you more good choices in 5 years?

It's not III, it's lll.

Hey everyone!

I'm ll, my real name is Lukas. I am a student at a technical university in the US and a hobbyist FOSS programmer.

I discovered Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality accidentally one night, and since then I've been completely hooked on it. After I caught up, I decided to check out the Less Wrong community. I've been lurking since then, reading the essays, comments, hanging out in the IRC channel.

I might be able to help build the site due to the following bits from my past:

• Javascript/XHTML/etc. experience
• WAMP/LAMP/ASP .NET experience
• Coordinated >20 people across multiple time zones using web forums/online chat
• Ran a website with a chatroom and used it to hold meetings
• Slight obsession with user interfaces (built web applications/desktop applications)

Downside:

• Due to personal things, I don't have the time to lead or contribute -hugely- to this effort.

Ideas:

• Keep the project management side of things relatively transparent (perhaps using Github, SourceForge, or at least keeping the spec in a wiki).
• Have a public bug tracker.

Gwern, you're an inspiration to us all.

Warning: the link starts playing bad music without asking.

There's also poking around online to find people with similar symptoms. . When I say I think his blog is good, I mean that he shows respect for human variation and for science-- I'm not sure that he's right about particular things.

The date in the title is incorrect s/2003/2013/

afaik, someone downvotes all of the meetup posts when they come up, and two other people upvote all of them shortly thereafter.
