Awesome job to NZOSS. I'm glad you guys are doind some great stuff, and I
like to think the linux.conf.au being held in NZ assisted in pulling the
community there closer together. Absolutely keep us up to date on stuff
happening. Who knows, we may be able to join forces on issues occasionally
:)

Cheers,
Pia
