I'm sure qld is kick-arse enough for LA :) I've got a tentative plan to be in Qld (around brisbane) for at least a week in Feb (no travel booked or anything, going to be organising dates around family there) - maybe meeting up then (as well as at the conf next week) to discuss QLD related issues would be profitable? I understand the value of physical presence - and would be happy to come (and hey, even say a few words) at whatever UG meetings I can make. lunch/dinner/beer at conf would rock too. Heck, I'm being Pia's scheduler for everyone else at the conf - she can come too :) > (For reference, I don't really like quotas, and I'm inclined to think > with a few extra slots up for election this wouldn't be a problem.

Sounds like a good topic for discussions post-LA AGM at the conf. Could really benefit from being face to face. -- Stewart Smith (stewart@linux.org.au) Vice President, Linux Australia
