You would need to identify why the list is so short first. How many Australia open source software authors know about it and if they do, why isn't it listed there? A promising big one is the Serval project http://www.servalproject.org/ A short run down, it's a application that allows phone calls to be made (or even sending text messages) via mesh networking where theres limited infrastructure. Think after a natural disater and the phone exchange has water flowing through it. If you spot something that needs attention such as a broken pipeline or landslide, you can upload the photo to the "Rhizome" and it will migrate via mesh connected phones untill it gets to someone to that can either address it or get a message to the outside world. The sender and receiver do not need to be online at the same time. Serval is being developed at Flinders University.
