[Linux-aus] Nomination for Ordinary Committee Members

[Gary Allpike]

It's also interesting to note that the "fresh blood" that are now 
running LOA have completely forgotten about all the efforts of those 
that came before them.  To all intents and purposes you would think they 
founded the association.  Whilst I am quite happy with where the org is 
going and the people that are running it, it is a bit sad to think that 
those that founded and ran the org (and built up its nice little kitty 
for the new lot to use) are completely forgotten.
