Logo
The current ubuntu-au logo was decided upon at the April 4 meeting. Designs, submissions and thoughts for the logo can be viewed on the Logo page. Logo #7 was chosen as the official Ubuntu-au logo.
Local CD distribution
APC Magazine (August edition) has Ubuntu 6.06 LTS on its DVD-ROM \o/ .
It works exactly like the Dapper Desktop CD - Live Environment with GUI installer. A DVD reader is required though (of course).
