[Linux-aus] What happened at the SGM?

[Julien Goodwin]

As one of the (few) in person attendees I just wanted to make one note.

I was *very* disappointed that the *sole* attendee of the meeting that
wasn't a Google staffer or their partner was Jeff Waugh. (No, I'm not
excluding LA council members here)

I know these sort of procedural things are a bit of a PITA, but it's the
support of members for even the procedural stuff helps keep the council
in a clear mandate to continue the never ending work of improving the
organisation.

Certainly I don't expect people to fly around the country for this sort
of thing (except possibly relevant LA council members), but surely we
have more Sydney locals that don't work for Google.

The support of the people on IRC, in my mind, was not just helpful, but
essential.

A video of the SGM was taken by Tim Ansell, and I believe was uploaded
to YouTube, but I can't see it with a quick search.

Again, thanks to all on the council, and Mary who's now left, for their
efforts.
