# ​Beginners Hands-On Workshop: Demystifying OpenClaw, the New Personal AI Everyone's Talking About: The Good, The Bad & The Sloppy **Registration to this event is only valid through the Luma platform: [https://luma.com/wy7xdrca?utm_source=meetup-dot-com](https://luma.com/wy7xdrca?utm_source=meetup-dot-com)** Hello everyone! Due to popular demand we are going to run a full OpenClaw (previously known as Clawdbot/Moltbot) event! Join us on **Thursday, 26 Feb**. This would be our 5th event in our series of **local-first, open-source** **AIs** therefore we will try our best to avoid connecting OpenClaw to any cloud-based AI model and keep everything private. We will focus on the good (useful ways of automating things with it), the bad (the rough edges of OpenClaw, security wise) and the sloppy (the danger of creating too much low-quality content especially since the Internet is full of that type of content). This workshop is open to all levels, from beginners to experts. Bring your laptop (make sure it's fully charged if possible as local LLMs tend to be power-hungry), and, don't forget to bring your coding gear (hoodie). We will try to run A.I. models on the mobile phone as well so feel free to bring your phone fully charged with a little bit of free storage space. This workshop will be accompanied by Sam W. & Joon-sang L. (the founders of Pentaform). Since the recommended way to run OpenClaw is on its own dedicated hardware and since there are people at Encode specialised in building mini-PCs, what better way to close the night than to hear about various hardware options and to see what Pentaform is building. See you there! *** ## Prerequisite First and foremost\*\*, VERY IMPORTANT\*\*, a VM (Virtual Machine) system like Docker/UTM for MacOs or WSL for Windows. Lastly, a local install of Ollama / LMStudio (but if you don't have any of that, don't worry, come a bit early and we will help set you up). Ideally you should check the slides from the previous event to set up Ollama locally: [https://andysign.github.io/ai-london-01/](https://andysign.github.io/ai-london-01/) Not related but still interesting, the second slide deck about flows with LangFlow (you should know how to access it if you've been to the last workshop, if not join the Discord and ask us): [https://andysign.github.io/ai-london-02/](https://andysign.github.io/ai-london-02/) There is a third deck, also not related (about personal RAGs w/ AnythingLLM): [https://andysign.github.io/ai-london-03/](https://andysign.github.io/ai-london-03/) And a forth deck, this one is slightly related (about AI-powered browsers): [https://andysign.github.io/ai-london-04/](https://andysign.github.io/ai-london-04/) *** ## Agenda for the evening (Subject to change) **18:00 - 18:30 Arrival and networking** Mingle with fellow developers over refreshments. **18:30 - 18:45 Introductions (What is Local-First?)** Learn about self-hosted, local AI models and why we use them. **18:45 - 19:40 Workshop** ​Hands-on technical workshop (if you are non-technical it's OK, tag along). **19:40 - 20:15 Pentaform and Local AI** **20:15 - 21:00 Networking** **21:00 - Closing remarks and follow-up** **END:** Carry on the fun at a nearby pub which is right around the corner. *** ## Event Venue We'd like to extend a heartfelt thank you to **Encode Club**. [Encode Club ](http://encode.club)has spent over five years fostering a global community of developers, researchers, and founders in Web3, AI, and emerging technologies. The [Encode Hub](http://hub.encode.club) brings everything together under one roof, providing a dedicated environment for collaboration and innovation through meetups, co-working, and in-person events. *** ##

**TRIP FULL and at maximum capacity** If you've missed out we have a final few spaces remaining on our Cadair Idris trip in April: https://www.meetup.com/outdooraholics/events/310082332/ If by the time you read this that trip is also full, then you can see all of our weekend trips here: https://outdooraholics.co.uk/weekendtriplist.pdf Leave mainland England behind and sail across the Solent to the **Isle of Wight — England’s largest island —** with a noticeably milder microclimate. The island averages nearly 5 hours of sunshine a day, and its chalk cliffs, sweeping downs and sea views have drawn visitors since Roman times. Queen Victoria loved it so much she built Osborne House here and spent over half a century visiting. We’ll show you the island’s **greatest coastal scenery**, including elevated **chalk ridges with panoramic sea views** and **the iconic Needles**. ** Key Info** • ** Nights:** 2 (Fri-Sun) **• Cost:** £162 **• Difficulty:** **[Beginner/Intermediate](https://outdooraholics.co.uk/HikeGradings.pdf)** (2 hikes 4–5.5 hrs each) **• ️ Meals Included:** All breakfasts, all packed lunches, Sat dinner, Sat cream tea **•** **Public-transport viable**, both hikes start and finish at the hostel ** Trip Highlights** • Explore England’s largest island with two guided coastal hikes • Enjoy a milder microclimate and around 5 hours’ sunshine/day • Walk the white-cliff coastline and ridge of **Tennyson Down** • See the famous **Needles chalk stacks** and multi-coloured **Alum Bay cliffs** • Explore beaches, downs and pretty villages of the **west Wight AONB** • Discover why this walking paradise has 500+ miles of footpaths and hosts England’s largest walking festival • Fully catered weekend including **Saturday dinner** (plus our signature post-hike cream tea) Taster video - [LINK](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdSggnHRTIU) ** Trip Description** The Isle of Wight is a true gem — compact yet full of variety, with 60 miles of coastline ranging from sheltered bays to dramatic chalk cliffs. It became an island around 7,000 years ago when rising seas cut it off from mainland Britain, leaving a place that feels close yet distinctly different. The adventure begins with **a ferry crossing over the Solent**, giving us wide sea views before we arrive on the island. A defining feature is the chalk ridge that runs like a backbone from east to west. From its high points you can enjoy twin views: one side dropping to white cliffs and open sea, the other stretching across rolling downs. Beneath your boots, the geology shifts — chalk, greensand, clay, limestone, and sandstone — supporting rich habitats. The Isle of Wight is **one of the last British refuges of the red squirrel** and home to **43 butterfly species**. We stay in an exclusively hired **Edwardian hostel** on the quieter western side, an **Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty**. Hikes start right from the hostel, taking in flora-filled downs, secluded coves, and pretty villages. Nicknamed “Dinosaur Isle”, the island has yielded **fossils from over 20 dinosaur species** and **more than 240 Bronze Age burial mounds**. Queen Victoria and Prince Albert built Osborne House here, spending over 50 years enjoying its mild climate. The poet Lord Tennyson also lived here, inspired by the views that now bear his name. Across the weekend, we’ll walk **peaceful coastal trails**, enjoy **sweeping cliff-top panoramas**, explore **quaint harbour towns**, and discover the island’s unique blend of sea, scenery, and history. ** Itinerary** **Friday – Arrival** Travel from London by **train to Lymington**, short **ferry to Yarmouth**, then a brief l**ocal bus** to our exclusively hired Edwardian hostel at **Totland Bay**. Settle in, have a drink and get to know the group. Driving? Several car-ferry routes serve the island, and the hostel has private off-road parking. **Saturday – Freshwater and Yarmouth coastal town** • Distance: 16km (10 miles) • Grading: **[Beginner](https://outdooraholics.co.uk/HikeGradings.pdf)** • Ascent: 185m • Hiking time: 4.5 – 5.5 hours We begin hiking to **Freshwater Bay**, a beautiful curve of beach framed by white chalk cliffs, before following a gentle but rewarding loop. The trail takes us through leafy woodland and across a nature reserve alive with coastal birdlife. We’ll follow quiet paths to the **harbour town of Yarmouth**, with its cobbled streets, pretty waterfront, and historic pier — perfect for a short break to soak up the atmosphere. From here, we make our way back along scenic coastal stretches and open fields to the hostel, where freshly prepared cream teas followed by our group dinner await. **Sunday – The Needles and Tennyson Down circular** • Distance: 13km (8 miles) • Grading: **[Beginner/Intermediate](https://outdooraholics.co.uk/HikeGradings.pdf)** \- a few hills\, but fairly short • Ascent: 325m • Hiking time: 4 – 5 hours Sunday’s hike is the showpiece — arguably the finest walking route on the island. We climb gently onto the elevated **chalk ridge of Tennyson Down**, where panoramic sea views open up in both directions. As we follow the ridge, the landscape narrows towards the island’s most famous landmark: **The Needles**, a dramatic line of chalk stacks rising from the sea. Every turn feels like the next postcard-perfect view. On the return, we keep high above the coast, passing windswept grasslands and open downs, before descending back to the hostel for our farewell. Typical finish time at the hostel: **13:45–14:45**.

**Our March pick is *God of the Woods* by Liz Moore.** **This month’s novel is an award-winning literary mystery that blends family drama with psychological suspense. It explores women’s voices and relationships while delivering an exciting, eerie, and deeply suspenseful story. The book is 576 pages in print or 14 hours and 35 minutes on audiobook.** Early morning, August 1975: a camp counselor discovers an empty bunk. Its occupant, Barbara Van Laar, has gone missing. Barbara isn’t just any thirteen-year-old: she’s the daughter of the family that owns the summer camp and employs most of the region’s residents. And this isn’t the first time a Van Laar child has disappeared. Barbara’s older brother similarly vanished fourteen years ago, never to be found. As a panicked search begins, a thrilling drama unfolds. Chasing down the layered secrets of the Van Laar family and the blue-collar community working in its shadow, Moore’s multi-threaded story invites readers into a rich and gripping dynasty of secrets and second chances. It is Liz Moore’s most ambitious and wide-reaching novel yet.
