[Linux-aus] Suggestion for the 'lugs' list

[Stewart Smith]

This is also my vision for the lugs list. Maybe in an email out to all 
the LUG people (who have responded to me saying that their LUG is 
active) I'll point this out and ask them to join it so that we can have 
wider communication between LUGs (and LA).

yay jeff for speaking my mind for me :)
