The Linux Australia council thinks it is time for the organisation to change its name in order to represent the focus of its community.

Last year, in its annual budget, Linux Australia allocated a sum of $5000 for media training. The entire amount was unspent.

As the number of events organised under its patronage increases, Linux Australia (LA), the umbrella organisation for Linux user groups Down Under, is actively looking for people who can be part of a media sub-committee.

The Sydney Linux User Group (SLUG) has voted to wind itself up and instead operate as a sub-committee of Linux Australia, the umbrella group for LUGs in the country.

A survey conducted by Linux Australia has thrown up one standout conclusion – the organisation is still very low-profile and needs to do some serious self-promotion so that the general public can become aware of its existence.
