Resending the above message, which apparently got eaten by some 
mysterious Internet ether dwelling entity.

Out of interest, I think that, perhaps, the use of Ekiga, for Linux 
Australia committee meetings, could be investigated, so as to minimise 
the cost of participating in metings, and, could encourage more 
participation in the committee, from over here in the Wild West (and, 
possibly, encourage more interest in having state/territory 
representation on the committee, if people can attend meetings using 
videoconferencing - with Linux-based software (!), rather than having to 
suffer the inconvenience (in both time and money, and travel) of having 
to attend physical meetings).
