That's new, helpful to know, and a positive tack.

Some good feedback was gained by flicking DRAFT-1 up on screen at our 
SFD library workshop last night. There's a local tech.ed institute that 
has FOSS of some form in its charter, that is a highly likely 
subscriber/sponsor and venue provider for an FSANZ.

PS Jim, noted on NZOSS - you've picked up an OOo teaching stint. I hope 
they are paying you :)

Just to confirm then; we are good to go in announcing the GNUz list to 
be the official mail-list for 'the Free Software association of New 
Zealand'? - FSANZ usage #2.
