[Linux-aus] Marketing Linux

In Australia, we speak English.

In Australia, "real" people in ads need to be real people.

>  "we put it to the school board, and they agreed"

In Australia, we don't have school boards.

>  and "Linux, by the people, for the people" logo.

In Australia, our Constitution does not contain this phrase and
the allusion falls flat.


Marketing needs to be a lot better than this.
