[Announce] Notice of Linux Australia Special General Meeting to be held on 29/08/2011

[John Ferlito]

Hi All,

A couple of members have emailed me privately and pointed out to me
that there may not be enough detail in the agenda with respect to the
motions.

I have checked with the Office of Fair Trading and we simply need to
present the changes in a manner that is understandable to our members.

Since I didn't actually link to the changes in the agenda but only
later on in the email I've updated the agenda to point to the GitHub
diffs.


The agenda for the meeting is as follows and can be found at
