I don't belive that having Nandor's support is beneficial. Nandor is
known for being "out-of-there" and having his support deters many people
(especially businesses) from seeing Linux as mainstream.

Linux groups in NZ should be targeting parties like Act, who want to
promote the use of open source, and who are usually reasonably well
respected.

Politics are really something left for NZOSS todo though - Isn't that
their purpose?
