[clug] [OT] Any LA or CLUG reaction to the new ALP Policy

[steve jenkin]

Any interest in either Linux Australia or CLUG on this “let’s teach coding!”.
Seems like it would connect well with FOSS and other local teaching ICT initiatives [recently on-list and “Outback Joe”]

The embedded notion in the ALP policy is “there’s one ‘language’”.
Don’t agree.
