Since there's a lot of people on here trying to sell linux solutions to
their clients I feel this post is of interest to some of SLUG and LCON
subscribers.
In fact this is kinda the next level up from a discussion started prior to
the Brisbane LCA which resulted in the Linux Consulting BOF's and the LCON
(linux consultants) mailing list. This mailing list supersedes the lcon
mailing list and I'd encourage switching over. (I started the LCON list so
no probs there). Other alternatives would be the Vendors mailing list of
linux.org.au.

Subject: Open Source Industry Australia - Mailing Lists Up | Web-Site In
First Revision
Hi There,
We have the organisational foundations of a new national body to represent
open source businesses to the community, the government (state or federal)
and other businesses. The foundations are: a web-site and a discussion
mailing list.
We're now seeking more input on the web-site and into the running of the
organisation. I'm sending you this e-mail because you wrote your name on a
piece of paper at the meeting we held at Linux.Conf.Au 2004 on the Thursday
evening (1).
The web-site is currently hosted at:
* http://osia.cyber.com.au/
Please visit:
* http://osia.cyber.com.au/resources
Instructions for joining the OSIA discussion list and the organisation are
held in the second URL I posted.
Please do join and participate - it's been Open Source Victoria's experience
that the ability to say "OSV, an industry cluster of 100 companies..." is
very effective when speaking to other businesses and the Victorian
Government.
