[Wikimediaau-l] AGM report

[Andrew]

Indeed - I'm of the view that meetups of the community are parallel to but
not part of WM-AU. There's no harm in advertising them on WM-Au so
non-Wikipedians at least see them, but the main interest will come from home
projects on WP most likely.

cheers
Andrew
