Hi all,

The Linux Australia nominations for the 2005 election are only open for
one more week. Check out http://linux.org.au/membership/ and log in to
nominate yourself or someone you'd like to see on the committee. The
last couple of years have seen lots of worthy contestants for the 7
positions in the committee (4 exec and 3 ordinary members) and as our
first online nomination and election we hope to see even more people
nominating and voting.

Any LA member can nominate, be nominated or vote. Membership is free so
if you aren't one yet then sign up at http://linux.org.au/membership/.
