Inaugural LA Meetup Recap:
Location: Arts District Brewing Company, Downtown Los Angeles
Attendees: 25
Venue staff was great, need to enquire about speaking space in the outside tent area for next event.
Many meaningful conversations with attendees about Logos and beyond. Interaction ritual chain (book and zine distribution), gave bitcoin>Logos mini lightning talk many times.
Very few “non-aligned” (free-loading) types.
A dev spun up an nwaku node from scratch from source, they praised the Waku documentation. It was a great live demo for the other devs in attendance.
In particular notable interactions with Human-tech crew and Light, a UCLA masters student.
The Human tech crew is highly aligned and there can be synergy with their group.
Light is eager to contribute, observed Jon’s node process, eager to contribute more and received best next steps.
Discussed identifying specific issues and made a goal to have something specific isolated by end of next meeting.
15 Logos Zines and 5 FTW books distributed.
I am asking those who received a FTW book to read it, leave an anon note in the book, and bring it to the following Meetup event where we can pass it to the next person. A veritable sisterhood of the traveling pants situation.
Next event will either be at the same location, or at a location in Venice, updates to follow early next week.
