Added myself to Western Australia: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AustralianTeam/ContactUs/UnofficialLocalContacts

That is one of the failings of having only one person for contact for
the whole of Australia.  There really should be several.




That's actually a good suggestion.  I tried to start something like
that here:

It's looking pretty empty at the moment.



The concept of meritocracy is a literary fantasy and on
par with many esoteric doctrines designed to establish superiority over
the ignorant.  Please abandon this concept.  It has no right to exist
and the way it has been used in the Ubuntu community smacks of
autocracy in disguise.




Like it or not, meritocracy is the way the Free Software development
community works (and by extension, a lot of the rest of the Free
Software community).  Being dismissive of it will not help you gain
favour with the LoCo council, and there is no way it will ever be
abandoned as a practice.



I was quite embarrassed by your letter to the LoCo
Council.  To me it seemed dismissive and untruthful.

  

Again, in your post below, I read of matters totally foreign to me.  
Either I have not been paying attention or your inventive skills are
finely honed.




Andre, the time for finger-pointing and name-calling has passed.  Now
is the time to show your strength by 1) getting over it, and 2) doing
something positive to make it better.



Regards,

Paul
