FEBRUARY -- Zone One 🧟🏙️🚧 (Celebrating Black History Month)
***Zone One* by Colson Whitehead** (2011)
Mark Spitz, a civilian sweeper assigned to reclaim Manhattan after a catastrophic pandemic, spends his days moving block by block through the remaining infected zones, clearing out the last remnants of the outbreak so society can attempt to begin again.
As he navigates abandoned streets, stalled skyscrapers, and the echoes of his former life, the work becomes both routine and reckoning. Over the course of several days, memories surface and the fragile boundary between what was lost and what remains begins to blur, revealing how difficult it is to rebuild a world that refuses to stay buried.
**Colson Whitehead** is an acclaimed American author known for blending literary craft with sharp social insight across genres. His work often reimagines history and speculative scenarios to explore race, memory, power, and American identity, earning him multiple major awards, including two Pulitzer Prizes. He’s widely admired for taking familiar forms and quietly bending them into something stranger, smarter, and more unsettling.
**Themes to Keep in Mind While Reading (Non-Spoiler)**
1. **Memory as Survival**
How do memories shape the way characters experience the present, and when do they help survival versus quietly undermine it?
2. **Routine After Catastrophe**
What does the return of routines and procedures suggest about how people adapt to life after the world has fundamentally changed?
3. **Rebuilding vs. Repeating**
Does the effort to rebuild point toward meaningful change, or does it risk recreating the same structures and assumptions that existed before?
**Before the event …**
* **Read the book. 🤩**
* **Keep your RSVP up-to-date.** If you can't make it out, update your RSVP at least 24 hours beforehand. Attendance will be taken and "No Show"s marked.
**At the event …**
* **We’re a friendly welcoming bunch and we love new folks!** 😍
* **Please purchase something (even if just a soda) while you’re at the restaurant.** They’re running a business but being super awesome by giving us a space to meet for free. Also, please tip our servers. We’re a big bunch to wrangle.

Discovery Wells/Twin Creeks Hike
Let's do a pair of moderate hikes in the Hill Country of NW Travis County. There is some rocky terrain and steep sections but mostly moderate.
First we can hike a couple of miles at Discovery Wells Cave Preserve, then we can go down the road for a couple of scenic miles along the creek at Twin Creeks.
Bring water and hiking boots. Hats are recommended.
Afterwards, we can get a bite to eat at a nearby Mediterranean cafe.

AI Freedom Alliance - Inaugural Summit
**\*\*\*\* More details and sign up at: https://aifalliance.org/summit-2026/ \*\*\*\***
**What is AI Freedom Alliance?**
AI Freedom Alliance promotes the responsible growth of AI guided by practical, commonsense ethics. Our nonprofit is built by
professionals from a wide range of industries and is made up entirely of small- and mediumbusiness representatives—never large tech companies. We provide a counterbalance to big corporate influence, focusing instead on how AI can benefit businesses and the world at large.
**What’s Happening?**
***The inaugural AI Freedom Alliance Summit.***
This full-day event will explore how we can ensure AI is adopted responsibly through shared ethical standards that empower
humanity. The summit will feature interactive and educational sessions led by thought leaders, technologists, policymakers, and advocates who are passionate about making AI fair, transparent, and beneficial for everyone.
**Why Attend?**
Learn about the legal and technical challenges with implementing AI solutions within your organization. Build better solutions while protecting your organization from legal and compliance risks. And learn how to think strategically about AI as a differentiation tool for your business.
This summit is highly recommended for C-Suite leaders to learn as well as interact with each other and our sponsors.
Building Agents with Microsoft Foundry
We will show a variety of methods for building agents that run in Microsoft Foundry. This covers the different types of agents: Prompt, Multi, and Hosted, as well as the development lifecycle using evals and traces.
