I feel I have to speak out here. Russell, I'm not sure if you're aware, but there _WAS_ a proposal for LCA 2022. James Iseppi and I and a team of other people put one together. We submitted it in February 2021, although I'm just going on memory here and I can find the emails if you want. The LA Council summarily dismissed the bid. No conversation was entered into. We were told it wasn't suitable. > You seem to be thinking this was a deliberate choice by LA.

Well, Russell, I have to assume you weren't part of the team that reviewed our bid when you make that statement. I have to assume that the people that did review our bid did not tell you about it. That or you're just forgetting our bid because it was deemed unsuitable. Maybe you meant "LA [...] got no[ bids that it accepted]." I don't know. Maybe you use "the public domain" quite literally there, and are excluding our bid because we did not announce it on the linux-aus list (which, AFAICS, is how the LA Council wants these things to work). I really don't want to hash over how we put the bid together, working with ANU from the previous LCA 2021 Canberra bid. I'm still pissed off at the way LA handled it. That annoyance colours my judgement of how the LA Council has handled the announcement of the Everything Open conference. So I'm trying to put those feelings aside and work with what the LA Council has decided to do. I'm happy to discuss our bid and what happened to it via direct email, but I won't discuss it on the list.
