Very good move :). I'd encourage you to join the NZLUG mailing list
(http://lists.nzoss.org.nz/mailman/listinfo/nzlug), and you could also
join the NZ Open Source Society's OpenChat list (see
http://lists.nzoss.org.nz/mailman/listinfo/openchat). Both will provide
you with groups of people happy to assist you if you run into trouble.
NZLUG is dealing with on technical issues, and OpenChat is more
appropriate for questions related to Open Source Software and the
implications - and questions about file format compatibility,
"standards", licenses, and that sort of thing. http://nzoss.org.nz
provides a wealth of info as well.

(Disclosure, I'm president of the NZOSS)

All the best with your transition,

Dave
