<div>I too have been interested but quiet. I believe that Canonical require us to have a CONTACT person for the community. Apart from and including this person every member of the community has there right to organise any thing they like to help further Ubuntu in Australia. All that needs to happen is </div> <div>1. Have a great idea.</div> <div>2. Do a bit of research</div> <div>3. Advertise it to the Ubuntu.au family for any help that might be needed.</div> <div>4. Have a great time enjoying your function when it happens.</div> <div> </div> <div>As long as everyone knows about it and can make there own decision as to whether they wish to participate, there can be no ill will.</div> <div> </div> <div>Thanks Watto<br><br></div> <div class="gmail_quote">On 18 May 2010 00:34, angus <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:angus@ozsolarwind.com">angus@ozsolarwind.com</a>></span> wrote:<br> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid">Matthew (etal)<br><br>Great idea!<br><br>I've been a passive observer on all the debate that has gone on over<br> the last few months and feel moving the debate away from this thread<br>can only (a) enhance that discussion and (b) move this thread back to<br>focus more on those wonderful tips/snippets (and of course local<br>meetings) around the use of Ubuntu and to encourage more people to<br> use what is a great product based upon an even greater philosophy.<br><br>King regards<br>AnGus<br><br>At 17/05/2010 09:16 PM, you wrote:<br>>Message: 1<br>>Date: Mon, 17 May 2010 22:16:30 +1000<br>>From: Matthew Rossi <<a href="mailto:matt@pcpodcast.org">matt@pcpodcast.org</a>><br> >Subject: Leadership Structure<br>>To: Ubuntu AU List <<a href="mailto:ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com</a>><br>>Message-ID:<br>> <<a href="mailto:AANLkTimmj8Ikq8GSJqh0YhCdLtQsi1coqya3hv12S5Rh@mail.gmail.com">AANLkTimmj8Ikq8GSJqh0YhCdLtQsi1coqya3hv12S5Rh@mail.gmail.com</a>><br> >Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"<br> <div class="im">><br>>Based on the IRC meeting, I'm starting another thread to discuss how the<br>>Ubuntu-AU LoCo can best structure leadership for the future.<br>>I ask that all who participate in this to please follow the CoC (ie be<br> >respectful of other people's opinions, provide constructive criticism etc),<br>>and to please not stall this process at any stage.
