2. Log of correspondence
- Several emails from members of the community around mailing list conduct on Monday. Given the nature of the events, there’s privacy concerns around naming the individuals.
3. Items for discussion
- Lilac asks about data trust, mails have been sent to them, that is in their court atm.
- Have we put out a call for bids for EO / LCA 2024?
- Plan to include it in an LA community update
- Discussion around whether to include in the LA community update, or separate email – decided to have a separate email to be clear about it.
- Suggestion that we should make it clear that we are here to auspice events, Council will review any proposals that come through.
- Lilac suggests running smaller, less formal feedback sessions with the community. ACTION ITEM: secretary adding the suggestion of smaller, less formal feedback sessions to the council hand over document.
- Mailing list conduct – especially Daniel Pocock
- We should put out a statement that makes clear we do not agree with the message sent by Daniel Pocock on Monday, and that this runs foul of our Code of Conduct.
- We should make clear that someone exhibiting such behavior cannot be accepted as part of our community. He is not a LA Member, and would not be accepted as one.
- Important to emphasise that the Linux Australia values are here to foster collaboration, and note that this behaviour does not align.
