I think a forum would be a great idea! </div>

IMO it would look great under the linuxAus domain, I'm sure we could work out a way to sync "Members" accounts vs just a forum account if we wanted to have a members only area and allow non member accounts for general chat/questions. </div>

I believe that the need for user engagement is obvious and therefore the <br>
suggestion that lack of such a service is limiting user engagement is an <br>
implied suggestion to use such services.<br>

We need accounts for people, preferrably not accounts on some big server which <br>
ends up with as much community control as Facebook etc. I think it would be <br>
good if we had a Linux Australia Matrix server and gave accounts to community <br>
members.<br>
