The elections for LA were excellent! I was still stuck in hospital but had live ward updates from Rusty through Alli. Thanks guys! We have a great new team and I’m really looking forward to working with everyone this year. We have a lot to do, and now with the fiddly things out of the way, we have the ability to get in and rock! I will probably call rank and barr Michael D from any duties for a month (otherwise he may not last the year 😉
Having not had the opportunity to speak to nearly as many people as I wanted to, I’d like to invite all people to bring to the linux-aus mailing list (linux-aus@linux.org.au) ideas and suggestions for this year. We’ll be getting a few things out of the way for the first 6 weeks (web site, clean up of actions etc) and then will be re-evaluating direction and tactics for the year.
I was very sad about not being able to go the much of the conference, but I had some wonderful visitors who made my day, and a card with more than 400 signatures on it from everyone at the Penguin dinner, thanks everyone! It was the best ‘get well’ present I could ask for 🙂
And now back home, still recovering from Influenza A (no, it isn’t SARS) and it looks like Jeff is coming down with it too. Another week off work to recover and then back into it. You find all these things that are really important and they make the work worries seem so small. Hopefully I can keep them in perspective…
