=== Bills to make the Film Credit Permanent ===

[https://malegislature.gov/Bills/191/HD388 HD388] would make the film tax credit permanent. It is supposed to expire in 2023. The bill has 100+ signatures this time around.

There isn't a hearing date for it yet, but suggest that we be active in opposing this bill.

Action items:

* Tell our supporters how to oppose it
* Look out for a hearing date
* If possible, reach out to other groups to organize a lobby day

These have been on our agenda for a long time. How do we make them a reality?

On hold - https://piratenpad.de/p/MassPiratesComputerDonations

Worcester farm group is interested in having some FOSS tutorials. Perhaps:
* how to do basic labels in GIMP,
* work through a few sample spreadsheets related to seed cost and
* similarly applicable real-world situations, depending on the needs of the group

Basically how to do graph design & product management with open source tools. Malt will put together a one paragraph description of what we need and we can mail it out to ask pirates to help.
