[Linux-aus] Grant decision - funding for FOI review

[Jonathan Oxer]

Hi Fraser (and the LA community),

I'm watching your progress with great interest and if it's possible I'd
love to attend the next hearing. I saw something about it happening in
Melbourne in early September but now I can't find the details.

Would you mind putting the hearing details on https://openmygov.au/ or
posting it to the LA list, or would you prefer to keep the information low
profile? There may be other LA folk who would also like to attend.

Cheers

Jon
