Bitcoin Starlight School Update 🎉 January & February were dedicated to completing 4 new modern buildings, thanks to Isma’s diligence in supervising the project. We then hosted the only #Bitcoin Artist, @dennis_kasagga, who beautified our walls with multiple murals and Bitcoin paintings. The children actively participated in both the construction and re-painting of their own school; skills and talents were discovered for sure. 👍🏾 We continue to thank @Bitcoinbeach, @TrezorAcademy, @BitcoinBeachBR, @BitcoinEkasi and all those who donated to the “savestarlight school campaign.” Crazy we achieved the first-ever Bitcoin School in Africa fully funded in #Bitcoin. 🙌🏾 Read our story & Donate via bitcoinconfederation.org/hub/save-starl… More pictures 👇🏽👇🏽

Over the past few years, BitDevs communities across Africa have been building technical spaces rooted in learning, openness, and collaboration. Today, we’re sharing the guide that brings those lessons together. The BitDevs Playbook v0.1.0 is the first public release of a practical, open‑source guide for building and sustaining Bitcoin‑only technical communities across the Global South. Grounded in real experience from BitDevs communities across Africa, it explains what BitDevs is, why the model works, and how to start, run, and sustain high‑quality technical meetups with shared standards around learning, privacy, neutrality, and non‑commercial focus. In the accompanying blog, we reflect on why BitDevs matters, how the model creates space for open discussion and open‑source contribution, and how communities across Africa have grown beyond monthly meetups into hubs of ongoing learning and collaboration. It’s written for organizers, contributors, sponsors, and community members who care about Bitcoin’s technical future. The Playbook is fully open‑source and meant to be used, adapted, and improved by the community over time. 👉 Read the blog to understand what the Playbook is and why it matters: blog.btrust.tech/introducing-th… 📘 Explore the Playbook to see how it works and contribute: github.com/btrustteam/the… 🧵👇
