Hi all,

The Linux Australia nominations for the 2005 election are only open for
one more week. Check out http://linux.org.au/membership/ and log in to
nominate yourself or someone you'd like to see on the committee. The
last couple of years have seen lots of worthy contestants for the 7
positions in the committee (4 exec and 3 ordinary members) and as our
first online nomination and election we hope to see even more people
nominating and voting.
