<p>In the spirit of inclusivity, I would like to advocate for us
referring to the country in question as Aotearoa New Zealand in
recognition of both decolonial efforts and Māori heritage. <br>

<p>Having had a look at the Annual Report... a question...</p>
<p>I realise it's "Linux Australia" but it would be lovely to see
some language in the LA 'official pubs' that references, and is
thus inclusive of, New Zealand. </p>
<p>The recent news involving NZPUG and the fact that several LCA
events have been held in New Zealand over the years only proves
my point, to be honest.</p>
<p>If Linux Australia does not, overtly, seek to 'aim to represent
and assist the groups and individuals who make up the Free
Software and Open Source communities in Australia' <em>and New
Zealand</em> (refer: "Our Values" section of the annual
report) then I wonder why this is the case, and whether LA needs
to be more explicitly inclusive of New Zealand.</p>
<p>Sincerely, a New Zealand member of Linux Australia :-)</p>
