Hi Ben,<br>
<br>
To be honest I'm not entirely sure where we landed with that. I believe<br>
you still have access to everything based off the previous barcamp that<br>
was ran. It seems like this item got lost in the transition of a new<br>
council so I must apologise for that.<br>
<br>
We'll discuss it on Thursday night which will be our first teleconf for<br>
the new council. (Kathy, could you please add it to the agenda).<br>
<br>
My feeling is that this is a bit of a no-brainer and we'd be happy to<br>
support it. However I'm not sure if we would want it supported as an<br>
on-going committee. For example, not even LCA is an ongoing committee as<br>
the members are new every year. Personally I'd prefer to just have a<br>
simple email each year saying "this is the new team" and we can go from<br>
there.<br>
<br>
Your thoughts?<br>
<br>
Once again I apologise for the confusion. The tweet is (as far as I<br>
know) slightly incorrect as we are not 'sponsoring' the barcamp. It is<br>
more that barcamp is a Linux Australia ran event and that we are<br>
supporting it.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Josh<br>
