I like Jim's Linux Users Aloha Union for LUAU even better!  

1- It shows the good will and friendliness of the group to outsiders by
     using the word "Aloha"; and 
2- It shows we are united as a group in the word "Union"; and
3- It combines, clearly and succintly, my three serious suggestions; and 
4- It gives [enough] Hawaiiana to be understood by the outside world
     [which is what we also need to declare]; and
5- If we used the word "United" with "Aloha", we may get confused with
the
     Hawaii Chapter of the United Way non-profit agency; and
6- It takes away the edge of fanaticism that either "Uber-Enthusiasts" or

     "Ultra-Enthusiasts" connotates while the word "Union" still holds
the 
     value of dedication to the cause [Linux of course...  ;-)  ]; and
7- It takes away the crippling affect the word "Anonymous" has where 
     people may consider us hiding our identities for our USAGE of Linux

That is why I like it!

John
