The problem is that the mandate of Linux Australia is a subset of the
work the organization currently and should do. It's bigger than just
"Linux". So a parent organization with an appropriate sub-committee
makes perfect sense to me. I am sure all of the people who are
passionate about Linux advocacy would leap at a sub-committee like that.
