<div dir="ltr">Hi Maria,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Yes, it is partly. Our LOC is formalising a
partnership with HOT currently, as per an earlier email
to the list, and this is our first topic of discussion.
With regard to the legislation, it is unfortunately a
legacy from the colonial times, as someone who had lived
there for 6 years in a vibrant international community,
I am yet to see an instance where these laws have been
applied - however, I stress, this is my personal view.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Our plan is to hold further consultations with the
OSGEO LGBT+ community and I have personally reached out
to those in a position of responsibility within this
intersection for further advice. I assisted HOT with
drafting their initial response [1] to this concern
also. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As the FOSS4G 2018 co-chair, I would welcome that
people share their concerns publicly, or if they wish,
privately with myself. But on behalf of the LOC, I
stress that our stated vision in both our proposal and
now, through our website, is to the most inclusive
FOSS4G that we can be. We, as a LOC, are firmly
committed to equality, regardless of sexual orientation,
gender, race, and creed. We want to provide the safest
possible space at this year's FOSS4G, setting this out
in both our vision and Code of Conduct [2].</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We will be discussing this in our weekly LOC meeting
tomorrow and I will, in due course, feedback to this
list.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Best,</div>
