Checking the archives is also sane, as this topic comes up every year.

The most recent discussion I can find is at
http://lists.linux.org.au/pipermail/linux-aus/2009-March/017414.html

(ftr, I'm with john: as cool as the name is, the limited access we get makes
it a major pain, especially when random people notice it's down and randomly
mail the list reminding everyone of something they already know.  Lets move
on to something we can have permanently, like conf.linux.org.au...)
