Ubuntu-au Obsolete? or needing a revamp?

[The Bronze]

Hi all,

I have been on the IRC tonight and offered to help out where needed to
get Ubuntu-Au up and humming again.

I have offered in another thread to administer the main page to keep
it upto date and have other skills that may prove useful.

* Teaching & Education
* Management & Leadership
* Communcation
* Organisation
* Web development (HTML & CMS)

I spoke to a few people in the IRC chat tonight and left my details.

Regards

Steve
