[wellylug] Invitation to participate in discussion about a national Linux body

[Carl Klitscher]

Like I said, we need yet another linux advocacy discussion mailing list
like we need a hole in the head.

The NZLUG list can handle NZ Linux related stuff. The NZOSS list can handle
the F/OSS related stuff. I see you have posted to NZLUG but I see no
evidence that you have even attempted to do the NZOSS thing. Even in F/OSS
development circles there is generally some discussion on the project list
in question before forking off on a tangent.

There aren't enough people in this country to support each individual pet
project no matter how well intentioned, and you clearly have the best of
intentions.

My turn to ask you politely to transfer the discussion to the already
established and widely circulated NZLUG or NZOSS list where it should have
been all along.
