<pre wrap="">G'day world,
I thought it might be interesting to write up my idea for an alternative
to rebranding LA as something more like an action plan, rather than just
a concept [0].
I think the motivation for rebranding LA as "Open Source Australia" or
similar;

Please understand Open Source is the not the core goal<br>
<br>
<i><big>Unencumbered open standard</big></i>s is the cornerstone of
our future.<br>
<br>
Without the fundamental right to communicate and use without paying
royalties all is lost!<br>
<br>
This issue needs to appear at the forefront of Goals!<br>
<br>
How much time is wasted by open source people attempting to ensure
they are not ensnared<br>
by "<i>fictitious</i> Patents"<br>
<br>
This substantial issue should be acknowledged in any re-branding.<br>
and lead to additional LA goals and hence directed effort.<br>
<br>
