I understood that, a couple of years ago, I think, the issue was raised 
that a committee for organising conferences, and, the LA committee, were 
to remain two completely (as in activities) separate committees, and 
that the conference organising committee was to solely deal with 
organising conferences, and only that committee was to do that, and 
that the LA committee's role was to deal with issues (apart from the 
annual conference, apart from assistance, if requested) affecting the 
Linux community across Australia.

I hope that I have put that clearly, as the separation of the roles of 
the two committees.

Perhaps, someone could correct me, if I am wrong. I think the 
discussions would be in the archives, from a year or a couple of years 
ago.
