*** We are all Linux Australia. *** The committee has the responsibility of
keeping the organisation viable, in control, acceptable to members, yada
yada yada. As a member - and in Linux Australia's case, even as a general
participant in the Australian Linux and Free Software community - you have a
stake in the organisation's operation and future.

If you haven't executed that opportunity/responsibility, tough biscuits! If,
however, the committee has obstructed our ability to contribute, then that's
an entirely different story, and we, as members, would have to rectify it.
