If you visit the linux-aus archives at 
http://lists.linux.org.au/archives/linux-aus/2003-February/date.html, you 
will see a preliminiary summary or two there 
(http://lists.linux.org.au/archives/linux-aus/2003-February/msg00311.html 
http://lists.linux.org.au/archives/linux-aus/2003-February/msg00312.html) 
including a post from AUUG's esteemed Treasurer.
