[Grants] Big Sand Band (Regional SA) - grant application decision

[Lyndsey Jackson]

Awww this is really lovely news, thanks all. I really appreciate how much you all work and the effort it takes to raise funds to have them available. We will do something really great and inspiring with this. Lots of great points raised, I agree with all of them. Will come back re hosting and tech support. The matching grant point is very true, it's easier for artists to get these type of grants because they have demonstrated community support, I think that the story here of having Linux Aus as a first follower is going to carry a lot of momentum.Have a lovely long weekend all, I'll start mobilising and be back in touch soon!
