Re: [Linux-aus] Goodbye AUUG, hello phoenix

The more I think about this, the more I think this is good future proofing for LA, assuming that there are enough people willing to help with conferences. One of the problems AUUG faces is that it's really a single event organization at this point, and that event (for whatever reason) is becoming less popular.


Perhaps there's some sort of model where LA provides more event support (a full time person to advise, good documentation, good relationships with sponsors, a network of speakers, whatever) [1] and local teams run more conferences.
