They're accepting submissions for their draft budget until 21 June at 5pm. If we make submissions, we might be able to convince Council to switch some of their devices to free software.

Thanks for the heads up Riley,

I've never made a draft submission to a budget before, but I've sketched out an idea for something we might be able to send in here: https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/fsm-City-of-Casey

All I see is: Welcome to WMF etherpad installation. Please keep in mind all current as well as past content in any pad is public. Removing content from a pad does not mean it is deleted. Keep in mind as well that there is no guarantee that a pad's contents will always be available. A pad may be corrupted, deleted or similar. Please keep a copy of important data somewhere else as well

At the moment it's still a bit vague-er than I'd like and a few missing references and examples, but I think it at least covers the major points and could be something we build on. We'll need to have it ready to send Monday night, so time is of the essence!

I've got some notes as well; I'll send them through etherpad once it works.
