How to find resources for the next Socratic?

Motivation

As you get started with your first Socratic meetup we would recommend you mostly stick with the resources of one of the existing meetups (see New York, San Francisco, Berlin for example). You will have other things to worry about during these first events and so you can make it a lot less stressful for yourself by just scheduling your event within a week of one of the other Socratics that publicly post their links and just use those. However, as you keep going, maybe you need more freedom with your scheduling so always trying to go right after another Socratic will not always work out. Also, all local communities are different, some discuss more, some less, some are more technical etc. So you might want to start adapting your resource selection based on the feedback of attendees. As an example: in Berlin attendees love to discuss certain topics in-depth and we have been asked to reduce the number of resources to allow for more free discussion time. We also added a local section, since NYC/SF meetups will usually not discuss topics like German/EU regulation etc. We name a couple of examples of how we collect links for our meetup semi-autonomously.
