Thank you for this update John and Adam. I have been oblivious to these problems. As a previous leader of OSGeo AustNZ this is of considerable concern to me.
I congratulate you both on your ethical approach to this situation. @John, I did hold great hope for OSGeo Oceania based on your open and engaging approach to establishing the organisation. It is disappointing to see how the situation has evolved. However, the OSGeo Oceania Community can treat this as a learning opportunity and take appropriate action. The future is exciting for open and engaging open source communities.
