[Linux-aus] communication methods

[Lucas Symons]

I think a forum would be a great idea!
IMO it would look great under the linuxAus domain, I'm sure we could work out a way to sync "Members" accounts vs just a forum account if we wanted to have a members only area and allow non member accounts for general chat/questions.

I believe that the need for user engagement is obvious and therefore the
suggestion that lack of such a service is limiting user engagement is an
implied suggestion to use such services.

We need accounts for people, preferrably not accounts on some big server which
ends up with as much community control as Facebook etc.  I think it would be
good if we had a Linux Australia Matrix server and gave accounts to community
members.
