Can we please get into the habit of sending such important announcements to
announce@ ?

It seems every year LA has the committee election, it's reasonably poorly
communicated. I very infrequently read linux-aus@, and filter it away. I
don't filter announce@, because I expect it to be low-volume, potentially
important, and probably time-critical.

I'd like to see at least three[1] calls for votes during the voting period also
sent to announce@, and the results should also be announced there when they
are known.

I thought that there was something that got aggregated to planet.l.o.a that
was vaguely official looking, but it doesn't seem that
http://linux.org.au/news/Linux_Australia_Committee_Elections_-_Nominations_Are_Now_Open
made it there.

Andrew
