HESKETH noted that there was significant growth in events that
ran locally, with Linux Australia running 8 events in total. He
went on to identify that Linux Australia had faced some
financial perils in 2014, including making a small loss, largely
due to LCA2014 not meeting sales expectations. Mr HESKETH
referred community members to the broader discussion around this
issue which was posted to the linux-aus list. Mr HESKETH noted
that Treasurer, MR FRANÇOIS MARIER had reduced risks and
overheads, thus minimising the overall financial loss. </span></p>

HESKETH noted that the Council and Community can be very proud
of the submission made to the Department of Foreign Affairs and
Trade (DFAT) on the Transpacific Partnership Agreement (TPP). Mr
HESKETH noted his special thanks to Mr JOSH STEWART (Ordinary
Council Member, Linux Australia) and to Mr LEV LAFAYETTE
(President, Linux Users’ Victoria) for their exemplary efforts
here. </span></p>

HESKETH referred the community to the SubCommittee page for
further information on subcommittee activities, and noted that
the non-conference SubCommittees were as per 2013. Mr HESKETH
thanked SubCommittees for all their hard work during the year. </span></p>

HESKETH noted the new Subcommittee policy and structure, and
thanked Christopher Neugebauer in particular for all his hard
work. Mr HESKETH explained that the new policy delivers
increased oversight. However, this has been difficult to
implement practically, and aligning events to the new
Subcommittee policy remains a challenge for Council 2015. Mr
HESKETH invited attendees to read the Subcommittee Policy. </span></p>

the organisation’s key outreach piece this year was the TPP

HESKETH covered financials briefly, and noted that the Council
had not hindered its operations as a result of the loss. He
further noted that Council had planned for a long time to hold
sufficient cash reserve to allow for the conduct of an entire
linux.conf.au based on registration income alone. Mr HESKETH
noted the foresight of previous Councils for Linux Australia
currently being in this fortunate financial position. </span></p>

Australia and Linux Users of Victoria strongly urges that the

HESKETH noted that Linux Australia had a number of challenges
facing the organisation in the near future. The remit of the
organisation has changed. LA is a community - and Mr HESKETH
noted that it is the members that do the hard work of the
organisation. He went on to note that Linux and open source are
generally well accepted as technologies, but the underpinning
freedoms around these technologies are less known. He questioned
how Linux Australia’s values align with the popularity of web
and mobile platforms, and how we as a community felt about
companies collecting and retaining large amounts of data about
us. Mr HESKETH underscore the importance of these questions, and
encouraged members to debate these issues. He questioned how
Linux Australia ensures these values are upheld in industry, and
challenged members to be more involved in these issues. He
reinforced that the organisation only achieves what its members
do - and that it is through the hard work of organisers,
volunteers and subcommittee members that outcomes are achieved.
Mr HESKETH called on members to be involved in these things and
strongly encouraged members to put in conference bids, or to
volunteer in areas where they feel passionate. </span></p>

HESKETH concluded by stating that Linux Australia has some big
questions ahead, and they will not be easy to answer. These

<p dir="ltr"

Sans';color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Mr
MARIER outlined that the most significant issue that happened
with Linux Australia accounts this year was the linux.conf.au
2014 loss. This was identified halfway through the year, and the
budget was scaled back to accommodate the loss. Overall, Linux
Australia ended up with a loss of $AUD 10k as a whole, which is
not bad considering that linux.conf.au lost $AUD 39k overall.
Mr MARIER outlined that budget expenses and costs were cut that
would have a minimal impact on operations - such as reducing
the grants budget. </span></p>

MARIER explained that one of the things that Linux Australia
used to do with conferences was not charge at all for the
provision of services such as administration, bank accounts,
insurance etc. Therefore, if a conference broke even, it
represented a loss to Linux Australia because the conference
consumed resources from Linux Australia centrally. Therefore, a
rate of $AUD 11 per person, or 2% of sales, is now expected to
be budgeted in for conferences and the conference should break
event at this amount. </span></p>

first noted that the budget covered the financial year October 1
2013, to September 30, 2014. He went on to note that
conferences had returned a large profit, including DrupalSouth
Wellington and WordCamp Sydney. He further noted that some
conferences fell across two financial years however their income
is only listed against the budget year they operated in. The
attached Profit and Loss statements were, however, limited to
just the financial year.</span></p>

MARIER talked through the Revised Budget and noted the smaller
donations and grants budget, with minimal reductions in other
line items. He summarised by articulating that Linux Australia
plans to return to profit in 2015, that is, to return to the
financial position prior to 2014. </span></p>

ANITA KUNO - I experienced a great deal of difficulty paying for
the conference, as my employer issues American Express (AMEX),
and the only way I had to pay for the conference was by AMEX. Is
there any acknowledgement of payment selection or options to
make things easier for international attendees to pay for
linux.conf.au? </span></p>

MARIER acknowledged the difficulty Anita faced and noted that
American Express is difficult to facilitate. He further noted
that AMEX has higher fees. François indicated that conferences
should have Amex. Mr HESKETH clarified, and noted that Linux
Australia can do AMEX for AUD dollars, but not yet for AMEX for
NZD dollars, as this was not arranged in time, but that we will
arrange this in the future. Ms KUNO encouraged Linux Australia
to make it easier for international delegates to pay for
linux.conf.au. Mr TIM SERONG noted that higher fees represents a
problem as the higher fees are transferred to the card holder.
Mr MARIER noted that the higher fees were not significant
problem for Linux Australia. </span></p>

MARIER responded that the numbers won’t change very much as the
events have already occurred. For events in the future, they are
estimates. With estimates we need to be careful, as we don’t
want to put too much pressure on organisers to return a profit.
For Pycon, it will be the same city run by the same people, so
the estimate is likely to be accurate, but Drupal South for
instance will be in a different city so returns are likely to
vary more. </span></p>

HESKETH added that the returns are “Pre” the $11 conference
amount, noting that he wanted conference organisers to consider
conference purchases versus how the profits could be used to
benefit the whole Linux Australia. </span></p>

BENJAMIN - Proffered a suggestion for future reporting for
conferences, that it would be great to have a single sheet that
had all the expenses and income for the conference, as well as
the number of attendees. This would help articulate and compare
the events - as the number of attendees is not reported in the
financials. She concluded that you can then get a sense of the
margin the events are returning. She further noted the
historical relationship between linux.conf.au and Linux
Australia, where there had been an intention to spend conference
surplus and return nothing to Linux AUstralia. She noted the
greater maturity now seen in this relationship, and that
conferences are paying Linux Australia for a service. She
suggested that the $11 per head cost be increased to $15 per
head. </span></h5>

HESKETH responded by underlining that a 5 day event is different
to a 2 day event. Regarding the relationship between Linux
Australia and linux.conf.au he made the point that both are all
part of the same broader community that upholds or values of
open communit and open technology and that drawing a distinction
is really not useful. </span></p>

DONNA BENJAMIN picked up on the point made by Mr TIM SERONG and
advised that jobs from Supporting Members of the Drupal
Association are posted on jobs.drupal.org, and that Supporting
Members get a number of free postings per year. She identified
that this was a mechanism for diversifying revenue. Ms BENJAMIN
encouraged future Councils to strongly consider monetising the

at. </span></h5>

JOSHUA HESKETH advised that the point of diversifying revenue
was attractive, and that this should be the point for Council to
take away. He distinguished the point around Corporate
Membership, noting that it was a separate matter, and that
Corporate Membership is not currently covered in LA’s
constitution. He further noted that while the Jobs page gets a
lot of views, the number of people listing jobs on there is not
large. </span></p>

Linux Australia could grow or improve the experience -as this
