Participants

The group was predominantly Kenya-based, with one visiting nomad from London (to be referred to the London Circle).
Attendees represented a highly multidisciplinary mix, including Web2 and Web3 builders and founders, designers, authors, educators, privacy advocates, legal professionals, and tech podcasters.

Shared Interests

  • Alignment with the Logos stack and principles
  • Civil and technical education for children (Web3, open source, privacy)
  • Apprenticeships and hands-on contribution

Event Structure

Time: Scheduled for 15:00–17:00; began at 16:00 due to traffic. The session extended beyond the planned end time into informal networking and drinks.

Agenda

  • Round-robin introductions and Logos context (onboarding new members)
  • Revisit and validate the “Winnable Issue” from the first meetup
  • Update on the Logos tech stack transition
  • Discussion on moving from ideation to execution and role allocation

Topics Discussed

1. The Winnable Issue: Civil Tech Education for Kids

  • Reaffirmed the goal of introducing children to Web3, AI, privacy, and open-source concepts
  • Guiding principle: Start small, stay sovereign
  • Agreed to avoid reliance on large institutions or external heavy lifting
  • Selected solution: develop comics and simple games
    • Enables immediate contribution from writers, artists, and developers
  • Action: Organize an online session to map skills to the project

2. Logos Tech Stack

  • Reviewed ongoing changes and renaming within the stack
  • Agreed to revisit technical specifics once the transition is complete

Outcomes

  • Strategic Focus: Adopted a “Sovereign First” approach by committing to fully execute one high-impact, manageable project

  • Community Energy: High motivation and strong bias toward action; participants expressed clear intent to contribute actively

Next Steps

  • Schedule an online follow-up to assign roles (Art, Story, Tech)
  • Integrate new members into active working groups

Logistics & Learnings

What Worked

  • Strong grassroots momentum and readiness to self-organize
  • Multi-stage discussions balanced onboarding with forward progress

Challenges

  • Late start due to Nairobi traffic compressed the agenda
  • Short notice plus holiday period may have reduced attendance from new participants

Ideas for Future Sessions

  • Invite a guest artist, engineers to discuss art, censorship, and cultural resistance
  • Design future meetups to be fully circular and decentralized, reflecting the group’s autonomous direction
