Hi Paul & the List, Speaking of the website. I'm a bit confused about the website url as well ubuntu.com.au or ubuntu.org.au Not that it matters because they point to the same site. Although I thought that a .com.au could only be obtained by a registered Australian business. Maybe www.auda.org.a

Reply from 1 squeaky wheel! first of all I sort of agree about support questions on this list with the following caveat, I would expect to see a question like "has anyone managed to get xyz modem on Optus working in Karmic etc" these are Australian centric & to my mind do have a place on the list

I challenge anyone who has a problem with the current situation to clearly define what non-bureaucratic action they would take for ubuntu-au under a new structure, then answer why they aren't doing that now. I honestly don't understand how the current setup has stopped anyone from promoting Ubuntu
