IFT All-Hands Agenda — March 5, 2026 (Revised)
Revised February 24, 2026 — Session 1 & 2 restructured, dinner timing updated
Purpose
- Create shared understanding of what Logos is, why it matters, and where it’s going
- Showcase progress across all IFT projects — Logos, Nimbus, and Status
- Surface key questions that feed into team offsites (March 7–9)
- Energize attendees to engage confidently at Parallel Societies (March 6–7)
Design Principles
- Single room, shared experience — no parallel breakout sessions; collective energy matters
- Pyramid structure — start with core alignment, expand to community, end with actionable focus
- Pre-work assumed — Logos engineering teams have submitted virtual video updates; Nimbus and Status present live
- No content duplication with PS — the all-hands covers strategy, alignment, and internal coordination that has no other venue
- 4×90-min block structure — consistent session blocks with dedicated breaks; coffee breaks can be shortened if sessions overrun
Agenda
Session 1 — The Foundation
09:00–10:30 | Opening + Status & Nimbus Updates + What is Logos (90 min)
Quick intro, then showcase progress across the IFT family, then close with the Logos vision.
Opening (~5 min)
- Welcome, logistics, frame the day
- “By end of day, you should be able to explain Logos clearly to anyone you meet at Parallel Societies tomorrow”
Presenter: Corey
Status Update + Demo (~30 min)
- Status update on Status progress
- Demo of current work
- How Status fits into the broader IFT picture
Presenter: [Status lead TBD]
Nimbus Update + Demo (~30 min)
- Status update on Nimbus progress
- Demo of current work
- How Nimbus fits into the broader IFT picture
Presenter: [Nimbus lead TBD]
What is Logos (~25 min)
- The mission: what “revitalising civil society” means concretely
- The tech stack: Logos Blockchain, Logos Messaging, Logos Storage — why these three primitives, what the combination uniquely enables
- Integration map: how the stack connects
- Context: Logos as the next chapter of the IFT family — building on what Status and Nimbus just showed
Presenter: Corey
Owner: Corey (Opening + What is Logos); Status lead; Nimbus lead Format: Four segments — quick intro, two project presentations with demos, closing Logos vision Note: Logos engineering teams already delivered virtual pre-work updates. Status and Nimbus didn’t have that opportunity — this is their moment. Corey opens and closes, adapting the What is Logos segment to build on whatever Status and Nimbus present.
10:30–11:00 | Coffee Break (30 min)
Location: [TBD — Melanie/Terry to confirm] Buffer: can be shortened to 15 min if Session 1 overruns
Session 2 — The Path
11:00–12:30 | Roadmap, Testnet Reveal & Q&A (90 min)
Panel-led session covering the Logos roadmap, testnet phases, and live testnet reveal.
Panel Presentation + Testnet Reveal (60 min)
- Panelists: Jarrad, Kaushal, Ksr, Jonny
- Roadmap overview: where we are, where we’re going
- Testnet phases: how many, what each proves, timeline
- What “launch” actually means — definition of success
- Key dependencies between workstreams
- Testnet reveal — live demonstration
Open Q&A (30 min)
- Moderated Q&A with the panel
- Technical path questions and broader strategic questions welcome
Owner: Jarrad, Kaushal, Ksr, Jonny Format: Panel presentation → live reveal → moderated Q&A
12:30–14:00 | Lunch (90 min)
Location: [TBD — Melanie/Terry to confirm]
- Mixed seating encouraged (cross-team, builders + Circles)
- [Sidebar room TBD] available for Council or leadership sidebar if needed
Session 3 — The Expansion
14:00–15:30 | Who We’re Building For + Internal Showcases (90 min)
From technology to movement to community, followed by tangible proof of progress.
Who We’re Building For (50 min)
Strategic framing of Circles — the why and what we’ve learned, not the operational how (which PS Day 1 covers in dedicated sessions).
- Target community vision: what kind of builders, contributors, users are we trying to attract and serve?
- Circles strategic frame:
- Why the movement layer matters to Logos’s mission
- What “winnable issues” look like in practice — the theory of change
- 2–3 stewards share stories from the ground (5–7 min each)
- What we’ve learned and what’s working
- EcoDev activation strategy: how we grow the ecosystem from here to mainnet
- How Circles and EcoDev connect — the funnel from community to contributors
Internal Showcases (40 min)
Arms the internal team with concrete reference points for PS conversations.
- 2–3 demos of working applications or prototypes:
- Integration proof-of-concept (messaging + storage, or similar cross-stack demo)
- Circles use case implementation
- Other demos TBD
- Brief context for each: what it is, why it matters, what it proves
- Frame as: “These are things you’ll be able to point to when people ask ‘what does Logos actually do?‘”
Owner: EcoDev lead + 2–3 Circle stewards; demo owners TBD Format: Mixed — presentation + short talks + live demos Note: PS Day 1 has dedicated Circles content in the Culture Zone (11:00) and dEdu/Circles in The Lab (10:00). Those sessions are operational and hands-on. This session is the strategic narrative — different audience framing, no duplication.
15:30–16:00 | Coffee Break (30 min)
Location: [TBD — Melanie/Terry to confirm] Buffer: can be shortened to 15 min if Session 3 overruns
Session 4 — The Focus
16:00–17:30 | Key Questions + Synthesis + The Charge (90 min)
Generate input for offsites, bridge to PS, and close with energy.
Key Questions by Stream (50 min)
Structured session that generates input for team offsites.
Format:
- Present 2–3 key questions per workstream (prepared by leads in advance)
- Table discussion: reactions, additions, prioritization
- Capture outputs on cards/digitally
Sample questions (to be refined by stream leads):
Engineering:
- What’s our testnet participation target?
- How do we prioritize feature requests from EcoDev vs. core roadmap?
- What cross-team dependencies need resolution in offsites?
Ecosystem Development:
- What does our builder funnel look like today vs. mainnet?
- How do Circles feed into technical contributors?
- What’s missing from our developer experience?
Community/Comms:
- What’s the core narrative for Parallel Societies conversations?
- How do we handle “when mainnet?” questions?
- What do Circles stewards need from the core team?
Nimbus:
- What are the key milestones for Nimbus in the next 6 months?
- Where does Nimbus need cross-team support or collaboration from Logos workstreams?
- What should the broader IFT know about Nimbus that they currently don’t?
Status:
- What are the key milestones for Status in the next 6 months?
- Where does Status need cross-team support or collaboration from Logos workstreams?
- What should the broader IFT know about Status that they currently don’t?
Synthesis + Bridge to PS (20 min)
- Leadership reflects on what surfaced during the day
- Explicit handoff: “Here’s what each stream is taking into offsites”
- Parallel Societies orientation:
- PS Day 1 venue layout: 9 zones across two buildings (One 16 and Fabrica Moderna)
- Where Logos content lives: main stage (Jarrad opening, testnet demo), FOSS Zone (node workshops), Culture Zone (Circles session)
- Where coalition partner content lives and what’s worth attending
- Practical logistics: how to get there, what time doors open (09:00), where to find coffee
- [Venue addresses and maps to be added — Melanie/Terry]
- Bridge the energy: “Tomorrow we take this to the world”
The Charge (20 min)
- Brief recap of the day’s key threads
- Acknowledge the marathon ahead — pace yourselves
- Something memorable to close — options: short video, a reading or quote, collective moment
- Clear, energizing close
Owner: Stream leads for questions; Leadership for synthesis; TBD for closing Format: Facilitated table discussions + sharebacks → stage presentation → closing moment Output: Prioritized questions/themes for each offsite track
17:30–19:30 | Free Time
- Decompress, freshen up, informal conversations
- Time to recharge before dinner
19:30+ | Dinner & Drinks
Location: [TBD — Melanie/Terry to confirm]
- Pre-event socializing with the full group
- This is where real cross-pollination happens — protect this time
- Reminder: PS Day 1 starts at 09:00 tomorrow
Sensitive Content Handling
With 6 Circles stewards in attendance (Michael, Jimin, Joao, Deca, Alice, Marco), sensitive internal content (finance updates, organizational details) should be handled via virtual pre-work before the all-hands. This keeps the room unified and leans into momentum building.
Recommendation: Finance update delivered as pre-recorded video or document distributed to CCs before March 5. All-hands stays focused on alignment and energy.
Circles Stewards
6 confirmed (no visa needed): Michael (Boston), Jimin (Seoul), Joao (Floripa), Deca (Rome), Alice (Porto), Marco (Barcelona).
Santi/Amelia coordinating speaker selection for the “Who We’re Building For” session. 2–3 stewards to share ground-level stories (5–7 min each).
Leadership Note
Jarrad participates in the Session 2 panel (roadmap + testnet reveal). All-hands leadership presence planned accordingly.
Coalition Partners
Charter Cities and Zanzalu teams may arrive early and have expressed interest in joining All-Hands sessions.
Recommendation: Offer partial inclusion rather than full day or full exclusion.
| Time | Approach |
|---|---|
| Session 1 (09:00–10:30) | Internal only, or partners use sidebar room for their own team prep |
| Coffee (10:30–11:00) | Welcome to join |
| Session 2 (11:00–12:30) | Internal only, or join if comfortable with open content |
| Lunch (12:30–14:00) | Welcome to join |
| Session 3 (14:00–15:30) | Welcome to join |
| Session 4 — Key Questions (16:00–17:30) | Internal only |
| Dinner (19:30+) | Welcome to join |
Suggested offer to partners: “Join us from lunch onward, or use [sidebar room] for your own team time in the morning.”
Recording Plan
Lou needs: number of sessions to record, number of edited outputs.
| Session | Record? | Edit? | Rationale |
|---|---|---|---|
| Session 1: What is Logos + Nimbus + Status | Yes | Yes | Canonical explanation + project showcases — onboarding & comms material |
| Session 2: Roadmap Panel + Testnet Reveal | Yes | Yes | Landmark moment — internal reference + potential external use |
| Session 3: Who We’re Building For + Showcases | Yes | Yes | Movement storytelling + demos = recruitment/comms material |
| Session 4: Key Questions | No | — | Internal working session, not for recording |
| Session 4: Closing (The Charge) | Maybe | Maybe | Depends if there’s a shareable moment |
Summary for Lou: 3–4 sessions to record, 3 edited outputs, fixed camera + operator for main stage.
Note from Lou: Wednesday evening should be fine for dinner/pre-event socializing. Thursday (PS Day 1) will be a heavy production day — load-in schedule pending from Portuguese sub-vendors.
Logistics — Placeholders for Melanie/Terry
The following details need to be finalized and added:
- Venue address for all-hands (hotel conference rooms)
