[imc-melbourne-work] Re: Perth Server stolen. Quick newswire fix for MIM?

[takver]

Perth server was recovered, and is back in operation. Haven't heard the
full story yet, but it seems it was taken from its cupboard and perth
was offline for maybe less than 24 hours.

>From the response and activity on this list, there does not seem to be a
lot of enthusiasm for organising a collective meeting or an open public
meeting to drum up more involvement. Maybe it is time to close Melbourne
IMC.

Those interested can join the United Oceania/Australia IMC proposal?

Thoughts, directions anyone?
