Cloud Native London, September 2026
Wed, Sep 2, 5:00 PMHi folks! Welcome to our September Cloud Native London meetup! Join us to hear from our three great speakers and network with your fellow techies over pizza and drinks, or alternatively chat and following along on Youtube or LinkedIn! 6:00 Pizza and drinks 6:30 Welcome 6:45 HAProxy Technologies Speaker TBC 7:15 Mia-Platform Speaker TBC 7:45 Break 8:00 Extending Hyperledger Fabric Automation with Fablo: Lessons from Cluster Operations (Pereowei Daniel, DLM Capital Group) 8:30 Wrap up See you there! Cheryl (@oicheryl) **Extending Hyperledger Fabric Automation with Fablo: Lessons from Cluster Operations (Pereowei Daniel, DLM Capital Group)** Moving a Hyperledger Fabric network from a repeatable local setup into a cluster changes the nature of the automation problem. Network topology is only the beginning: operators must also manage identity, storage, service discovery, lifecycle state, observability, and containerised chaincode delivery. In this talk, I’ll share practical lessons from extending Fablo-based automation for real-world cluster operations. I’ll show how to preserve Fablo’s approachable, declarative developer experience while separating network bootstrap from ongoing operations, treating chaincode as an independently deployable service, and designing workflows that are easier to inspect, recover, and evolve. Attendees will leave with a concrete mental model and a set of patterns they can apply to their own Fabric automation. *[https://linkedin.com/in/pereowei](https://linkedin.com/in/pereowei) Cloud Infrastructure Engineer focused on Kubernetes, distributed systems, and platform automation. Active contributor to the Linux Foundation Decentralized Trust (LFDT), where I’ve worked on enhancing Fablo’s support for Chaincode-as-a-Service and Docker-based chaincode packaging. I build tools that simplify cluster operations and improve reliability for engineering teams.* ***Check out [https://www.oicheryl.com/cloudnativelondon](https://www.oicheryl.com/cloudnativelondon) if you're interested in speaking or sponsoring.***

Practical Philosophy Club Meetup - London 🇬🇧
Sat, Aug 22, 1:00 PM**🗂️ CONTENTS (click read more)** * Policies incl. attendance & late arrivals. Safety & Liability Disclaimer. (Mandatory reading - see end) * What is Practical Philosophy Club (PPC) about? * How does it work? * General meeting agenda * FAQ (binding terms) * Optional donations * What people say about PPC * Our WhatsApp group & links to PPC worldwide **🏛️ WHAT'S PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY ABOUT?** Practical Philosophy is an informal weekly meetup that brings critical thinkers together for an opportunity to dive deep on a topic, practice communicating, and building a community. All with no ‘official’ philosophy knowledge required! 😎 Practical Philosophy is based on the idea that philosophy should be accessible to all, and not something reserved only for academics. Each week we choose a topic, and the goal is to use the conversation to develop our critical thinking, listening skills and communication as we explore that topic. The goal is to help develop our Critical Thinking, Communication, and Community 🙌 📓 **HOW DOES IT WORK?** Each week, we pick one topic and discuss it. The topic for the week is shared, generally in the meetup events comments section or the optional-to-join [Whatsapp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/B6fqS6HGujq8gb3a0kl5pS), along with jump-off points you may wish to consider to get the conversation going. When groups get bigger than 7-8 people, it’s important that we break into smaller groups. This way we are able to maintain a conversational flow as opposed to having our meetups feel like a discourse, debate or lecture. **📋 GENERAL MEETING AGENDA** We start promptly. It is important everyone hears the introduction, discussion guidelines and the week’s topic jump off points, even if you’ve heard them before, but especially if you are new. RSVP on Meetup for you and any guests is mandatory. If you or any guests haven’t RSVP’d, you will be asked to do so before you join the discussion. By RSVPing to our events and attending, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to our policies & disclaimers. Each Practical Philosophy Club (PPC) meetup follows this general timeline: * 13:45–14:00 (Optional) - Early arrival for newcomers. If you would like a soft intro, time to settle in & familiarise yourself with the space, or have a casual chat beforehand to ease any nerves or just get to know other newbies, please feel free to join us early. * 14:00-14.15 - Standard arrival time. It is important that everyone arrives before (not at) 2.15pm. It’s better to arrive closer to 2pm so you can shuffle around if you want to sit at a different table to meet new faces, and do your table introductions. This is also when I check people in on the Meetup app. * 14:15-14:20 - Once everyone has been checked in on the Meetup app, we will give a short explainer on what PPC is about, read out the discussion guidelines and introduce the topic’s jump-off points provided by PPC HQ. * 14:20-15:20 - You can kick off with general thoughts on the topic and have an open discussion afterwards. Each table can refer to the ‘jump-off’ points as needed, at their pace. They are there to help guide the conversation. It’s not obligatory to use or answer them or discuss in order. * 15:20-15:30 - We sometimes take a group photo. If you don't want to be in the group photo, there's no pressure, it's just a way to close out the meeting. The host will go to the tables or announce to the gathering when the meetup has officially ended. From that point on, anyone who wishes to stay in the venue and continue discussions or attend unofficial social e.g. in a pub or park to mingle with different groups afterwards does so independently of the meetup event and understands it is no longer hosted by the Meetup event hosts. **🧧PRICING?** Practical Philosophy Club is FREE to attend, and we operate on donations. If you'd like to donate to support our running costs, that helps keep our group self-sustaining. Donations are entirely 100% voluntary, but your contribution is appreciated! QR codes, provided by PPC HQ in Canada, to donate will be present. All consumables and items for purchase from any of the venues are paid by the individual should they wish to have them. **💛 WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY** 🗣 “I feel like Philosophy Club helps someone build their own belief system through a series of perspectives while not promoting what’s right and wrong” - Ekam 🗣 “I got hooked from day 1 (the topic was authority) and felt it was the right place for me. I feel it is a place where people can go to learn and discuss new perspectives and increase critical thinking and community by interacting with people who might challenge your point of views but at the same time encourage you to have openness and mind flexibility.” - Daniel **🤓 FAQ (Note: The answers below form a binding part of our group policies and terms of attendance).** * What is the venue like? We currently use City Lit’s ground floor spacious café. The venue is accessible, with air conditioning and bathrooms available to us. We try and sit on alternating tables so there is a table free in the middle, making it easier to hear our table mates. The café counter is closed on weekends, but the water cooler, vending machines, and bathrooms are available to us. You are welcome to bring your own, or grab a drink a nearby shop before arriving! By attending any of our Meetup’s, you agree to strictly follow the safety guidelines and emergency procedures of the venues premises. * What will we talk about? What's the topic? The topic for the week is shared every week by the PPC global organisers in the Whatsapp group (optional to join) before the session. We also try to add the topic & the jump off points to the comments section on the event page, but if you don’t see it, the topic and the jump-off points will be in our [Whatsapp announcements-only channel](https://chat.whatsapp.com/B6fqS6HGujq8gb3a0kl5pS). * Do I need to study or read anything to attend? No preparation is necessary! This isn’t a study of other thinkers. We want to know what YOU think about the topic, not what any academic philosopher, writer or someone in the public eye thought. * Is there a specific philosophy that Practical Philosophy is focused on? The goal of our Meetup’s is to not have dogmatic discussions, and instead to flex our critical thinking muscles. Because of this, we want to hear from every realm of thought, and don't study a particular school. * Is it mostly men that attend? Surprisingly, no! Our PPC meetups are attended by all genders. * Can I come alone? Of course you can :) * Can I be late? Please don't be! We have a 15 minute grace period where we allow people to funnel in while we hang out, before the host reads the discussion guidelines and jump-off points for the weeks topics. Arriving after that means joining an existing table will disrupt the flow of the conversation. We ask you do not join tables with discussions already underway, and follow the instructions on the “joining late?” sign. * Can I switch tables? When you arrive at, or before, the standard arrival time, you can change tables if you wish to meet new faces. After this, when the host starts to read the PPC discussion guidelines and topic discussion points, the tables are formed. We ask that you please remain with your table mates for the hour of discussion. Moving around between tables mid-session disrupts everyone else. The very rare exception, as a safety net, is if you need to leave your table due to unpleasant or hostile behaviour (not a standard discussion disagreement). In that specific case, you may of course quietly move over to the Late-Joiners Table where the sign is and join them. Once the meetup event has officially ended, you can choose to continue your discussions afterwards to mingle with other tables and hear what they discussed. The choice is yours. All we ask is that you do not table-jump and join or disrupt other tables during the hour discussion. This is so we can delve deep into the topics without interruption. * Where do you meet? The location is posted in Meetup and our [Whatsapp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/B6fqS6HGujq8gb3a0kl5pS) group for this location. Any last minute changes to venue or any delays of hosts arrival may be posted in either the Meetup event comments or the WhatsApp announcements-only channel. If you want to know what other cities have a Practical Philosophy Club, you can see our chapters on our [website](https://www.practicalphilosophy.club/practical-philosophy-locations/). * Do you organise social events or drinks after the main philosophy meeting? No. The London host of PPC simply coordinates a time and public space for independent individuals to meet and discuss philosophy. The host is not a supervisor, counsellor, events manager, or caretaker. The host reads the discussion guidelines and jump-off points provided by PPC’s global organisers before discussions begin. That said, independent of the official meetup, members do often choose to stay and continue discussions afterwards and may go to the park or another venue of their choosing to socialise. * Are your discussions moderated? Discussions are not moderated. Attendees are entirely responsible for their own behaviour, safety, actions, and belongings at all times, both during the official discussion and during any unofficial casual, private social gatherings at other venues including pubs, parks and outdoor spaces afterwards. * Who is it open to? This PPC discussion group is an informal non-profit community initiative open to adults of the general public. While we require an RSVP via Meetup for logistics, please be aware that members and attendees are entirely unvetted. We do not verify identities, run background checks, or collect personal names and contact details. The club operates with zero custody or liability over its participants at any point. * What if I get offended or don’t like what I hear from another member? Philosophy involves the exploration of diverse, complex, and sometimes controversial ideas. The beauty of discussing philosophy is encountering differences of opinion and conversing respectfully when in disagreement. We do not ban members simply because another participant dislikes or disagrees with what they said. You will hear opinions that you sometimes don’t agree with. Healthy, peaceful disagreement is to be expected in philosophical discussions. We are a discussion-based community, and not a debate or argument based one so please be respectful when sharing your views, and when listening to others. The group organisers and hosts, accept no liability or responsibility for any views, opinions, arguments, or exploratory thoughts shared by any participants. Any offense, distress, or detriment caused by the words or actions of another member is strictly between the individuals involved. The organisers and hosts are not responsible for such outcomes. While we cannot and do not vet attendees in advance or control who joins, we are committed to maintaining a safe environment during our official events. If a member exhibits clear aggression, hostility, or abusive behaviour during an in-person Meetup event, and members report this to the PPC global organisers, we reserve the right to remove and permanently ban that individual from the group. We are not responsible for investigating, policing, or mediating members’ behaviour online (including on social media or messaging apps), at other independent gatherings, or during any unofficial socials held after the meetup concludes. **🛡️ Attendance Policies, Safety & Liability Disclaimer** Important Safety & Liability Information: The London Chapter of Practical Philosophy Club (PPC) is an informal, peer-to-peer community gathering hosted by volunteers.

RSVPs & Attendance Policies: * No marketing or self-promotion: This is a dedicated event for philosophical dialogue and connection, not a marketing platform. This is a free event where members can expect discussions entirely free from sales pitches, networking pressure, and similar hidden agendas. We ask that you do not use this group, including our event comments, WhatsApp chats, and in-person meetups, to pitch your personal business, hand out flyers, plug books you have written, or advertise coaching, courses, classes, or events you run. While we love celebrating your achievements, our intent is for attendees to have real discussions, contribute authentically without commercial motives. * Mandatory RSVPs: RSVPing via Meetup for the week's event is mandatory whether you are a regular, have joined a few, or are coming for one of their first times. This is the case for any guests you bring along with you too. This headcount is used solely for venue capacity limits, room bookings, and logistical planning. * No Personal or Emergency Records: Please note that PPC does not collect or hold members' real names, full identities, contact details, emergency contact or next-of-kin information.

We request you arrive at the standard arrival time mentioned in the general agenda section, or the newcomer arrival time which is normally 15mins before. If you arrive late, please do not interrupt other PPC tables. You will need to join the “arriving late?” table and may need to wait for other latecomers to form a separate group with you. The table for late joiners will be the table closest to the front with the "arriving late?" sign which will have instructions for you to read, discussion guidelines and will navigate you to the topic of the week and the jump-off points which all allows the group to self-start their discussion without disrupting others, including the host(s) who will also be engaged in discussions. Late Table Disclaimer: The "arriving late?" sign on the Table becomes the late-joiners table. Self-start materials are provided purely for orientation and community convenience. The host assumes no liability for the physical placement of these materials, nor for any disputes, misunderstandings, or incidents that occur at the self-started late arrivals table. Contacting others: To respect our members privacy, we ask that no one privately message a member without first getting explicit consent. This could look like speaking in person and being asked to message privately. Contacting or texting other participants without prior consent is not permitted and may result in removal from the group. PPC reserves the right to enforce this policy at its discretion, in order to maintain a safe and respectful environment for us. listen views diverse explore our thoughts. **🔗 PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY - Making Philosophy Available To All.** ✨ Practical Philosophy hosts weekly, in-person meetups in 25+ countries, including Canada, Spain, Japan, Mexico and many more! 🗺️ Join our [Whatsapp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/B6fqS6HGujq8gb3a0kl5pS) 👈 Follow us on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/practicalphilosophyclub/?hl=en) 👈 Our [website](https://www.practicalphilosophy.club) 👈
HANGING OUT AT THE SOUTH BANK
Fri, Aug 21, 6:00 PMInspired by Sheila Liming's 2023 book, Hanging Out, this event is about "*daring to do nothing much, and even more than that, about daring to do it in the company of others*." If you're curious, you can read more about my rationale for the event [here](https://experimentsingroupwisdom.substack.com/p/hanging-out), and how our pilot event went [here](https://experimentsingroupwisdom.substack.com/p/it-worked). This will be the 7th month in a row of 'HANGING OUT AT THE SOUTHBANK' - it's going well! **This event will take place in the foyer of The Southbank Centre.** You can find us by looking out for: * Me - I will be wearing a black T-shirt with HANGING OUT written on the back * Our table - we usually gather at the tall tables in the Festival Bar & Kitchen on Level 2. Our table will have a sign on it 'HANGING OUT' (see attached photos). * If I get away with it, it will also have a red flag draped over the table with 'THE SUNRISE CLUB' emblazoned on it (though this clearly isn't THE SUNRISE CLUB! If you want to find out about that, you can do so [here](https://www.meetup.com/the-sunrise-club/).) There are plenty of places to buy refreshments, but you can also bring your own if you prefer. If you feel like using this event as a carrot for some creative work, please join us an hour earlier for [WRITE CLUB](https://www.meetup.com/experimentsin/events/315825117) \- an hour of silent writing/reading in the same location\. And if you'd like to finish the evening with a dance, there is a free social salsa meetup just outside The Southbank Centre just afterwards. More info [here](https://www.instagram.com/salserosfriends/). [WHATSAPP GROUP](https://chat.whatsapp.com/FgGCrGc8TNzF8q7lvwozbR) [INSTAGRAM](https://www.instagram.com/experimentsingroupwisdom) [SUBSTACK](https://experimentsingroupwisdom.substack.com/) Looking forward to meeting and hanging out with you :-) Bonny
