AussieChix has a subdomain delegated from the main LinuxChix body. We already
host with Linux Australia on a virtual machine. Frankly I'd probably prefer a
set-and-forget software stack, since we have fairly basic needs. Adminning a
whole server is a time sink. Core needs are:

 - a mailing list (perhaps the option of several would be nice, long term)
 - a news/blog kind of thing (with RSS/Atom)
 - an event calendar (with iCal+RSS/Atom)
