Celebrate Free/Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS) at MakeHaven! Share projects, see demos of privacy tools, discuss AI's impact, and connect with the community. All levels welcome!

Join us at MakeHaven for an exciting evening dedicated to Free/Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS) and community-driven technology! This meetup is part of the global "LibreLocal" celebration, hosted in partnership with the Free Software Foundation (FSF) and sponsored by PrivacySafe, a New Haven-based company committed to private, secure, and anonymous technology built entirely with FLOSS.

Come share your favorite moments from the FLOSS movement, demo your software or Open Hardware projects, and connect with others who are passionate about digital freedom. The event will feature interactive demos of privacy-focused tools, discussions on the impact of Machine Learning on software development and licensing, and a celebration of how far the community has come.

Whether you're a seasoned developer or curious beginner who wants to learn more, this is a great chance to explore new ideas and get inspired.
