[David Lloyd]

Linux AUSTRALIA – not LinuxSA – I haven’t usurped Mr Hesketh yet :P

As this seems to be an ongoing support, might I suggest that something like:

 

“That LinuxSA support Software Freedom Conservancy for a total of $X aud per month, to be reviewed every Y years or at such time as Linux Australia Inc. sees fit, whichever is less.”.

 

What the value of $X or Y should be is beyond me.

 

For what it’s worth, it seems a good cause – however, what Linux Australia can or wants to afford I’m not sure. It seems it could afford the minimum :)

Support. SFC does very valuable work.

I agree.
 

I'd like to propose that Linux Australia support the Software Freedom
Conservancy [1] as part of its grants programme. [...]
