<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>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>
