Suggested next meetup themes

Option 1: Local AI stack show and tell

Format:

Three short demos from local builders.
One beginner station for LM Studio, Open WebUI and Ollama.
One safety segment on sandboxing and backups.

Why it fits:

It gives advanced builders a reason to share.
It gives beginners a safe way to enter.

Option 2: AI, schools and students

Format:

Steve Jones presents student safe AI.
Parent, teacher and student panel.
Discussion on local AI for classrooms and student privacy.
Resource list for parents and educators.
