If people are interested in an AUSNOG-not-in-Sydney, may I suggest something
that qualifies as a little more "remote Australia?"

What I'd love to see (if people really want to stir things up a bit) are
networking events in more remote, country locations.

My (limited) experience running around the countryside trying to make
internets work is that it can be a different world out there and
providing some exposure to internet-in-the-outback may open the
eyes of a few more people.

2c, and I understand how unfeasible it can be to hold a 200+ person event
in a country town, which is why it should happen in the first place..
