[ RE: [LUAU] Draft Mission Statement]

[JOHN HARRISON]

I vote nay.

My reasoning is, that IF you are going to change the name of the group, it
would make sense to change it to some kind of "LUG" like most other Linux
Users Groups around the country.(HILUG or ASLUG)
I see the reasoning for keeping the call letters the same, it saves on a lot
of work and configuration.
If the site is in transition, this may not be a bad time though.
But I don't see "Linux Users with Aloha Unlimited" as compelling enough to
change the original acronym definition, IMHO.

As far as the Aloha part, yeah thats nice, but maybe don't need the Unlimited
part.
But I guess that shortens out to "LUA" which is questionable. :-)
BTW, "Linux/Unix Anonymous Users" fits too, but I'm not necessarily saying we
change to it.
Could be one of those things where people always ask what the acronym REALLY
means, everyone has a different definition.
Another reason to keep the original definition intact.

Also remember to update:
http://www.linux.org/users/groups/usa/hawaii.html
which is out of date anyway.
