You bet it is.  If you have read all the posts then you would be aware that
many Australian Ubuntu users believe that there are shortcomings in the
organisation, or lack of it, jeopardising the efficient functioning of
Ubuntu-AU.  Presently there is no-one accountable and no-one other than the
mailing list that you can approach.  There is no cohesion and all efforts
are those of individuals doing whatever they feel like doing.  Another word
for the present state is "Chaos".

Yes, lots of things, there is no-one to co-ordinate individual efforts -
everyone just does whatever suits them.  Opportunities to promote Ubuntu are
presented, a call for a volunteer is made and there is deadly silence.
Another opportunity is gone.

   I honestly think this is all just a waste of time.

Your opinion is noted, however. I disagree with you.  Nothing is ever a
waste of time.

Have the people that have proposed all this new change tried and work within

What structure?  There isn't one.  That is the reason for the proposal.

Evidence of what?

You mean that someone proposed a structure.  It cannot be "radically
different" since there is no present structure.

Not necessarily but the new website shows what can be done.  The existing
website shows what has NOT been done.

We all have the right to express our opinion respectfully - you have done so
and now, so have I.

Cheers,
Andre
