I would also like to thank the community for the generally high tone
of feedback and engagement we've seen to applications so far - your
comments and suggestions are providing a strong level of assurance
around grant applications and ensuring their alignment with Linux
Australia's values. Thank you for your time and insights. <br>

prospective applicants, and more are expected. <br>
<br>
Kind regards, <br>
