Heya,
Im Liz, im from NZ also, and fairly up with the game regarding Linux and 
Ubuntu (looong time user). The online meetings always appear to be at 
the wrong timezone here as well, but the LUG are an excellent way to 
meet like minded people.
There are a few women on the LUGS in NZ, and I think its time we made 
our presense felt :)

ps, Im previously from Auckland, now in Cambridge.
