Abstract

In last year's grant round, Lyndsey, through WeCollaborate was awarded a Linux Australia grant. Where did the money go? If you are someone that gets inspired by impact, frustrated by reality, and/or wants to be a change maker this is the talk for you. Chances are at least one of Lyndsey’s two kids will come along, if you have kids, they might want to come too.
