[Linux-aus] Grant Application June-5-2017

[Linux Australia President]

Hi everyone,

Firstly, a courtesy note to indicate that feedback on this application
is open until 19th June, and is scheduled for discussion at Council
meeting 22nd June.

Secondly, I have a conflict of interest as a regular attendee to this
group and will therefore recuse myself from any discussions or decision
making on this Grant Application.

Kind regards,

Kathy
