Linux Australia is assisting some home grown Linux Projects. These projects, big and small alike, help to advance and/or promote Linux. If you are running a project and would like Linux Australia to help you, send some email to the Linux Australia Committee, tell us what you are doing and what sort of help you are looking for and we'll see what we can do to rummage up what you need.
As well as helping out independant projects, Linux Australia is active in running its own projects under its Sub Committees
Below is a list of the current projects Linux Australia is running:
As a volunteer organisation, Linux Australia relies on its members for the good work that it does. In order to recognise the work and effort our members put into the organisation, Linux Australia has two awards which are given to those who best meet the criteria.

[Need good text here]
Linux Australia is always looking for new ways to support and promote the Linux Community of Australia. Our latest proposal is a funding scheme to help out the local projects. We will have up a page soon to show the success stories, and thus far have already helped out a few projects with some hardware. Typical requests may be for hardware, resources, bulk item ordering (Linux Australia could act as a hub for orders to disctribute to the LUGs/SIGs around Australia). Check out the link and read the guidelines for making a request to find out how we can help you.

Linux Australia Donations Scheme
Our donations scheme is set up to provide open source projects with an easy way to manage donations that they can spend to support their work. We're currently doing a live beta-test with just two projects, but as we gain experience with it, we hope to make the service useful for the entire range of open source projects in Australia. Follow the link for more information!
