[@OKau] what is the acronym for this org?

[Steven De Costa]

*OPEN KNOWLEDGE FOUNDATION AUSTRALIA INC.*
*Reg number: *A0062603B
Date of incorporation: 24/02/2015

You can find it here:
http://www.consumer.vic.gov.au/clubs-and-not-for-profits/incorporated-associations/search-for-an-incorporated-association

The rules are here:
http://www.consumer.vic.gov.au/clubs-and-not-for-profits/incorporated-associations/running-an-incorporated-association

However, 'Open Knowledge' is the correct reference internationally and
'Open Knowledge Australia' is the correct reference locally.

Acronyms are discouraged but unavoidable. OKAU Is what I use. It is easily
confused as the website domain is okfn.org and the twitter handle is okfnau.

Formally, use Open Knowledge Australia. I would suggest OKAU for the
acronym :)

Cheers,
Steven
