Portal:The Portal Group

The Portal Group exists to facilitate community projects in service to the ideas expressed by Eric Weinstein on The Portal Podcast and elsewhere. We use Discord to organize and communicate, and we track projects on the wiki. We have also developed a user database to keep track of the community's skills and interests, while also using Google Drive to store files.

Getting Involved
{{GenericBox
 * header=Who are Brooke, Brandon and Tim?
 * content=Tim, Brandon, and Brooke coordinate closely to manage The Portal Group and plan for its future.

Brooke
Brooke works closely with Eric. Through developing The Portal Blog, transcribing all content featuring Eric Weinstein and her frequent conversations with him, she is the best judge for how projects match up to the values of the Portal. If you have a high value project, it is worth showing her.

Brandon
Brandon is a professional web developer and consultant. He runs the Discord server, built the website and projects databases, and set up the wiki. He coordinates day to day management when he isn't deep in dev projects.

Tim
Tim is an Australian mathematics student who spends much of his time studying various topics in Differential Geometry and Algebraic Topology with guidance from Eric. }}
