[Linux-aus] RSEAA24 Accessibility Fellowship

[Kathy Reid]

As an LA member, I just want to say how heartening it is to see how the 
loop is closed on some of the work the Grants Program does - thank *you* 
Rowland for all your efforts here, and to Harsh and Sanchit for all 
their efforts that make events better for everyone.

Best, Kathy
