[Linux-aus] [Announce] 2024-2025 Annual report and Draft AGM Agenda

spent way too many hours over the weekend getting @greatercanberra.bsky.social's paperwork in order ahead of our AGM later this month, but it's all worth it to keep our team doing what it's doing - we will have a few vacancies in the leadership team, DM me if you wanna get involved

Pro-tip: Write code for the reviewers. Helping them helps you.

A very specific case: Separate code movement from other changes to independent commits.

As a reviewer, checking code movement with 'git show --color-moved' takes mere seconds rather than minutes. Checking subsequent changes on top is easy as well. Combined, it's much, much harder.

And remember, it might be you looking at the same commits years down the line.
