Hell SLUGers, If you are game to vote in this election here is a site to peruse: www.cecaust.com.au. Some vital information at: www.nothappyjohn.com.
I am a linux advocate, wildly so, I'm running Mandrake 10.2 and also as the CEC candidate in the Robertson electorate (Gosford Area). I'm diabolically opposed to the FTA and its implications for our IT industry's future and our future generally. I do not use M$ products save for an old hydraulics calculation package which works on DOS. If elected to Parliament I will be pushing many barrows, one of them will be to convert the Australian computing landscape over to Open Source Software, anything but M$. All the licencing fees we pay to 'bill' will be converted over to creating systems in OSS, so we have an Australian IT powerhouse, call it OZOSS if you like, software beyond anything on offer from overseas, all the LUGs and their members here can put this into operation. If you're in the Robertson electoral area please vote for me to help this along. If you are not, look for the CEC candidate in your area and help them in. Asbestos suit is on... flame at will. Cheers, Nicholas Tomlin. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
