You're doing your usual trick of assuming the worst and writing annoyingly
long and repetitive emails.

What Linux Australia is about, and who it serves, is pretty clear from its
charter: http://www.linux.org.au/About/Charter

It's pretty clear that proprietary software doesn't fit in with that. It's
pretty clear that FLOSS in general does fit in with that. But there are a
few Linuxisms left that do not truly summarise what Linux Australia has and
will continue to represent (as a matter of culture and behaviour) -- the
Australian FLOSS community.

That's why there needs to be a change of name, but please don't make such
nasty assumptions about the organisation's intentions, particularly when
actions demonstrate otherwise.
