"Now what?", Bizannes wrote on the site. "Plan — what plan? Contribute to this discussion list, and let's see what we can build together, to create a more unified, supportive Australian information sector."
So far a number of Australia's technology luminaries have signed up to discuss the nation's start-up IT sector on the site. For example, Faraday Media CEO Chris Saad, Atlassian co-founder Mike Cannon-Brookes, RMG Connect interactive art director John Johnston have all joined.
I'm seeing more and more initiatives like this from Australia's start-up, entrepreneurial IT or Web 2.0 sector, whatever label you apply to it. In particular, start-up consultancy Pollenizer, which is run by Phil Morle and Mick Liubinskas, has started a number of initiatives to get start-ups together. They've got an IT event calendar and are organising a shared office space for start-ups in Sydney.

Following on from my earlier argument that to qualify as an Australian startup you have to take the afternoon off to watch the Melbourne Cup,is anyone up for a Silicon Beach Melbourne cup lunch. If like me you're working in a company with only a handful of people you'll probably find it hard to summon up the atmosphere necessary to get excited over a herd of horses running round a field with little men on
their backs.
