Matt,

I believe LUAU was created way back before I started to go there to the 
meetings in the 1990's when it was held at the UH Innovation Center. 
Gary Sublett got me interested, but he has since moved back to Kentucky. 
I see him answer on line occasionally so he may be able to give more of 
a time line history.

There has always be an up and down pull in interest for LUAU and the 
name was maintained for a mailing list identity.

I am glad to see you guys are doing some installs and learning sessions 
again. Excellent work!
