Very cool initiative from @vardi@fediscience.org : ask questions to the 2026 candidates for presidency of @ACM@mastodon.acm.org !

It's here https://www.cs.rice.edu/~vardi/acmelection2026/
you can upvote existing questions and you don't need to be an ACM member. Currently, many of the questions on the onlinequestions.org instance are indeed points I'd very much like to see ACM address...

If you are a researcher interested in formal languages and automata theory, you could be interested in the One FLAT World Seminar! https://flat.fc.up.pt/

(Which doesn't talk about flat Earth theory, despite the name. ;))

I think this is a great initiative to share our research in a way that's accessible to everyone for free and without having to travel -- I hope this information can reach people who don't typically attend conferences (in particular people who don't have enough funding).
