[Linux-aus] Reminder: Linux Australia Council Election 2010

[Steve Walsh]

Just a reminder, nominations close at midnight (Melbourne time) tomorrow
(27th December) night. If you want to stand, or are thinking vaguely
about standing for a position, you'll need to have two (2) nominations
and have accepted by midnight tomorrow (27th December) night. You are
able to self nomination if you want.
