Why would ubuntu-au be obsolete ? Ubuntu is the friendly / linux for "human beings". It is just gaining popularity. The issue really is that no one is available to ensure that ubuntu au is up for newbis to find really. I think ubuntu (the main site) was pushing people towards their loco's sites wh

Just to be clear, the point in having a website is to tell people ubuntu au exists right ? So i agree with having an updated site, perhaps it should just be more like a planet ? (with contact information) and just pool feeds from Australian ubuntu users blogs /other places. That way the site w
