[Linux-aus] some lists to remove

[Joel Addison]

Hi Russell,

As I clearly said at the Linux Australia AGM that you attended, we intend to review and remove several unused/obsolete mailing lists this year as part of our communications review and overhaul. We are well aware of the lists that are no longer needed and will make sure to turn these off. We will look to keep the archives to allow people to revisit them if needed, cleaning up where appropriate. 

Regards,

Joel Addison
