[Linux-aus] [Grant Application] Kids Tracks at BuzzConf

[Arjen Lentz]

Hi all

Being involved with students and schools here in Queensland, I think $5k is a lot of dosh.
Awesome things can and have been done for less (or for lots more people).


Plus, while it's great to have kids involved with hands-on tech and beyond a quick experience, promoting tech in general is not Linux Australia's purpose. STEM and anything tech is a real fad but that's not what we do. Open tech, yes.

I think buzzconf is a great initiative, but that doesn't imply that Linux Australia should supply large grants (which by implication would be at the expense of other activities that focus on open tech).

Regards,
Arjen.
