[Media] FOR REVIEW - Linux Australia newsletter Autum 2013

[Kathy Reid]

Thanks for the feedback Brianna - really like the wording around Malcolm.

The tone/authorship is a fair point. 'We' sounds more friendly/informal 
than 'Linux Australia' or 'Council' or 'Media and Communications 
Subcommittee'. Really, the newsletter is the voice of the community so 
I'd expect people in the community to be contributing to it more in the 
future. Also don't want to send the message that Council is imparting 
their wishes/thoughts on the community - rather the message is we seek 
input, information sharing etc. So, if we use 'We' in the sense of 
Council and Media Subcommittee, and word this more clearly, would that work?

In terms of distribution plan, was thinking;

- email to linux-aus list
- email to each of the LUGs (this means we'd have to compile a list, but 
this would be a worthwhile exercise for the Media and Communciations 
Subcommittee to have undertaken anyway)
- On linux.org.au website under news section
- Tweet/Dent it
- topic in #linux.conf.au on freenode

Any other channels we should use?

Kind regards,
K.
