I agree...one mailing list for all open source, unix, linux etc in Hawaii is all we need.  If someone can think of a new name other than luau that is fine with me.  Its also fine with me if it keeps being called luau!  It is a useful mailing list....the name is unimportant.

Everyone is getting along just fine on this list.  Warren has meetings that meet his agenda, Deven has meetings that meet his agenda, and anyone else can have meetings to meet their agenda, and we are all still one big happy family here on this list.  Hell, I might have to start having meetings for Solaris or Irix users, but I would still use this list.
