Hi Stef,

Yes I'd be very interested in joining the panel. Our presentation earlier that morning will have a chunk devoted to our experiences with the Aussie community, and i can report on how over the next couple of weeks our Indian head of ops Kavit is working with Prakash from Canonical in India to grow the Indian community.

Cheers
Tristan
