I agree, we should do what we can to promote Linux and Open Source
Software (that's somewhat the point of CLUG, after all), but you must
admit, calling it a "loss" is somewhat, well, negative, wouldn't you
say?  ;-)  How about FLOSS (Free/Libre and Open Source Software) - it's
something that a manager can punch into Google and get a hit on.  This
one, specifically: http://www.infonomics.nl/FLOSS/  That page even has
management words like "proposal", "workshop" and "deliverable" on it -
it'll make managers feel all warm and fuzzy inside, seeing things in
their own "language".  (colour me cynical)

I don't know how much this will help you, Kevin, with selling RedHat to
management, but, well, there it is.
