- Thread is “[LACTTE] Enquiry from Kathryn Tyree via the Linux Australia Website Contact Form”
- Conference is in NZ (Wellington), and in October.
- Defer until Sae Ra is present, deadline is unlikely to be soon.
- JW: email from Patrick Masson to council@ on 7 Mar 2020 about job ad for ClearlyDefined.
