[Linux-aus] Grant Application from Jonah Sullivan for Canberra Python User Group

[Andrew Donnellan]

As a Canberran who isn't a regular attendee at CPUG but has gone a couple
of times in the past, I support this request - they're one of the few
regular open source meetups in this city and the request seems reasonable.
