[AusNOG] Promotional material at AusNOG Events.

[Damien Gardner Jnr]

This!!!!

I hated flying before covid, as I always got off the plane with a cold or
flu, now it’s not even worth the risk.  And I’m not at all a fan of crowds.
I would LOVE it if AusNOG was streamed, would happily pay half the ticket
price to be able to watch online!

 We ran to the sounds of thunder.
We danced among the lightning bolts,
 and tore the world asunder
