[Linux-aus] Request to form a new and on-going sub-committee for BarCampMelbourne

[Ben Dechrai]

Hi all,

I noticed that @linuxaustralia tweeted they're a sponsor of
BacCampMelbourne. Apologies if I missed an email somewhere - does this
mean that the request to become an on-going sub-committee has been approved?

If so, thanks very much, and how do we proceed?

Thanks,
Ben
