PS:  Saw "The A.I. Doc" at the theater this week.
Highly recommended. The Center for Humane
Technology inspired the producers of "Everything
Everywhere All At Once" to take on this massive
and urgently needed project!

Busy this Monday but still want to attend a LibreLocal meetup? Organize
your own. May is LibreLocal 2026 month, so there's still time. List your
event on the LibreLocal 2026 wiki page
<https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:Librelocal/2026> and we'll get the word
out to everyone else who, like you, have told us they are in Georgia. Read
our earlier global call for LibreLocal 2026 meetups
<https://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/librelocal-2026-is-in-may-start-organizing-meetups>
to learn more and join us. Meetups are being held on six continents this
year, and more events will be announced over the course of the next few
weeks. You can host a meetup, too!

Happy hacking!

Program Manager

*Please note: this event is enthusiastically supported by the FSF, but
organized by a volunteer. The FSF is delighted that so many dedicated free
software activists have volunteered to organize a community meetup. We hope
that these gatherings will be a great place for the free software community
to meet up and want to help make these events a success, but we cannot be
held accountable for volunteer-organized events.*
