Yeah I don't
Strike out the spam option and that sounds good. Even if it's a good

It also just occurred to me the Wikimedia Australia group on facebook is
another avenue - the membership of the group currently sits at 48, which
would be close the number of actual financial members WMAU has - but there
wouldn't be 100% overlap - we may be able to catch a few more along the
way.
Yeah I don't see any harm in using the Facebook group.

For this sort of stuff noone should ever be afraid of using WP:AWNB on en.
It's not a terribly busy board, and it's got the content side of the

Before that, there was a round of personal emails to people who were

So, the roll-out plan seems to be (correct me if I'm wrong):
1) People who are WM-AU members sign up to the list on WM-AU wiki noting
their preferred dates. I've already added a couple of other names that
