Editing Linux Australia (section)

== History and goals ==
Linux Australia was co-founded by Terry Dawson and Gary Allpike. The organisation was formally incorporated to provide legal support for the inaugural Conference of Australian Linux Users (now [[linux.conf.au]]). Over progressive years the organisation has steadily matured in its operation and today its major activities include the annual [[linux.conf.au]] [[Open-source model|open source]] conference, a grants program that seeds and supports relevant [[Open-source model|open source]] projects, and regular participation in public events such as conferences and exhibitions. Public relations activities include lobbying to government and corporate entities on [[Open-source model|open source]] issues and comment and opinion to the media.
