Hello Danishka,
Yep, we've discussed before that if Herson is unable to get the location
from Rakuten, we'll contact Microsoft for the location. I've asked before
and that Harish said that Fedora should be more independent and not rely on
Red Hat, so don't think Red Hat was a choice. Hackerspace was a bit too
small for this event. I've contacted SCS as well but they said they are not
particularly familiar with Open Standards.
I've also sent out emails previously and updating it (titled
"[fedora-singapore] Document Freedom Day"). Herson and I wanted to
kickstart something in Singapore and were fine with Microsoft. There was
some debate about this but then it went silent so I thought all of us were
fine with it already. I've taken down the Facebook post as requested. I
apologise if there was any misunderstanding regarding this.
Thanks.
Best Regards,
