</div>Might be a stupid question, but why can't Linux Australia just hold on<br>

It'd be the sane thing to do, given the <a href="http://linux.conf.au" target="_blank">linux.conf.au</a> occurs every year,<br>
and there are people right now that have an interest in accessing the<br>
site, even though the conference hasn't started yet.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Checking the archives is also sane, as this topic comes up every year.</div><div><br></div><div>The most recent discussion I can find is at <a href="http://lists.linux.org.au/pipermail/linux-aus/2009-March/017414.html">http://lists.linux.org.au/pipermail/linux-aus/2009-March/017414.html</a></div>
