We at McSweeney’s mourn the loss of one of publishing’s great and large-hearted figures, Malcolm Margolin. The founder of Heyday Books in Berkeley, he published hundreds of important titles that told the story of California. He was also a mentor to so many Bay Area publishers, and advised McSweeney’s at a key moment in our history. About ten years ago, when we were contemplating our existence — our very ability to survive — we reached out to Malcolm for advice, and he laid out the roadmap that helped us transition to our current nonprofit status.

We will try to give back information about what is happening on the technical side, so people can stay up to date with improvements happening in the Drupal AI space from a developers perspective.
I was recently myself away on vacation for some weeks, and realized just how quickly everything is moving, both in the AI space and the Drupal AI space when you are not actively following it. The Drupal AI Initiative and its people contributing to it, outside of FreelyGive, have started its own momentum.
So this is a way to get a bi-weekly update on what is happening outside of releases, to be able to test things happening on the dev branches of different projects.
