Minutes

Discussions

Wellington 2026

  • A budget needs to be presented to Linux Australia by 18 June
  • NZ conference organising committee is coming together
  • We have provided them with previous budgets and other info
  • With NZ conf organising committee to progress - need to take ownership swiftly to stay ahead of budget timeline

Candidate election - NZ seat

  • Nominations opened, closing 21 June
  • Some nominations received
  • Candidate statements requested

Speaker selection proposal

  • A proposal was received that DS might crowdsource topics of interest to community, then assign topics to speakers
  • Interesting proposal but similar has been tried in the past and wasn't successful - insufficient engagement
  • This is something the community can self-organise if it wishes
  • Agreed this was not a task for the DS steering committee
  • Consider implementing via eg Melbourne meetup?
