Australian Unix user organization in trouble

Lehey then raised a number of questions regarding the future, and possible dissolution, of AUUG.

"Do enough members think that it's time to dissolve AUUG? How many members do we have? How do we know who the members are?" he said. "If we dissolve AUUG, what do we do with the funds?"

Lehey also postulated a number of possibilities for AUUG, including a merger with Linux Australia.

"I think it's pretty clear that Linux Australia is conceptually the successor organization," he said. "The problem I have (and that Linux Australia shares) is that there's no place there for users of proprietary Unix."

Any remaining AUUG funds should be donated to the John Lions chair of computer science at the University of New South Wales, Lehey said.
