MOKANCAN had another great meetup on 08/27/2023 at Lawrence Public Library in Lawrence, KS. We had 11 people in attendance and discussed a variety of topics. Here is a list of some of the things we discussed along with relevant links:

• Veilid

Veilid allows anyone to build a distributed, private app. Veilid gives users the privacy to opt out of data collection and online tracking. Veilid is being built with user experience, privacy, and safety as our top priorities. It is open source and available to everyone to use and build upon.

• OpenELA

Their mission is to provide a secure, transparent, and reliable Enterprise Linux source that is globally available to all as a buildable base.

​The group discussed the recent passage of the Oregon Consumer Privacy Act in the state of Oregon.

​The recent HCA Healthcare data breach was discussed. Discussion focused on just how much personally identifiable information medical providers need.
