Tue, Jul 5th 8:28am 2005: Linux
In light of the interpretation that's been put on things recently I need to clarify my thoughts on a couple of things.
Linux Australia *will* survive.
In fact, it will flourish. It's becoming stronger and more relevant all the time, and despite the negative inferences from recent discussions it's probably one of the most successful national Linux associations in the world.
My original post was in no way meant to suggest that we all give up and go home, it was intended to point out that due to the growth and success of the organisation we have to think very carefully about how we want it to operate. If it was just meandering along in second gear it wouldn't matter, but it's not - we're accelerating rapidly, and *that's* why we need to take stock of the way things are done.
Thanks to everyone who has provided constructive feedback and I hope you continue to do so. This is after all a *community* organisation!
