Abstract
A discussion around FOSS-related legislation and doing markup on NH RSA 21-R: https://www.gencourt.state.nh.us/rsa/html/I/21-R/21-R-mrg.htm
Other possible topics to discuss:
* New Right-to-Repair proposals, including one for bionics: https://spectrum.ieee.org/bionic-right-to-repair
* Giving "Right to Inspect Source Code in Court" another try, now with some additional sources, such as: https://kb.osu.edu/server/api/core/bitstreams/ccdce761-3689-477b-918a-920a11ca9435/content
* Setting up an official "Open Data Policy" for NH: https://github.com/opendata/Open-Data-Policies (RSA 21-R may already count, but I want to be sure)
* Relatedly, but slightly differently, setting up an Open Source Program Office for NH: https://github.com/github/github-ospo
* Setting up a sovereign tech fund for FOSS like Germany has: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Germany-STF-For-FFmpeg
* Including an inspection of automotive software as part of the automobile inspections that the state already requires people to get for their cars
