Canonical gave us ubuntu-au.org a few days ago (after I pestered
Matthias Ulrichs about it for a while), but it was SolutionsFirst (in
Melbourne, I believe) who gave us ubuntu.com.au.

Anyway, I too think we might not be ready to `go official.' Although it
would probably improve our image, it might not be a good idea at this
early stage.

Now, I'm not in the industry, but a number of people who co-wrote the
letter are... They probably know what they're doing, but I still don't
think it should happen right now.

William.
