I'd suggest keeping linmagau and Linux Australia separate is probably a
good thing, as it gives linmagau an independent view of Linux Australia
and other groups. Maybe get a few interested people together as a SIG,
LA could help to set this up and possibly help support it in other ways
(will have to evaluate), but Linux Australia would rather put in place a
system so that linmagau is not tied to the direction of Linux Australia.
We don't want to run it, or make a system that would allow future LA
committees to run it, Kim is doing a great job, and we hope to support
her in that! :)

The 3/6 month idea seems to be a good idea. Maybe commit to the funds
for 3 months, with a report from Kim at the end of that time to set up
the next 3 months, and so on.



Regards,
Pia
