Dustin:
Looks better. My work is always wordy, at least initially. I
fixed a missing word and added a sentence (OK, two) in the Why Are We
Doing This section. It looks great, but I still haven't come up with
a good name either. We did decide to do away with PLLUG, we all
hated it. We just never replaced it. However, I am not sure that
highlighting Linux is all bad. Linux has more name recognition than
Open Source. Everything I have thought of is extremely forgetable,
or already in use somewhere. I do think we ought to have a name
before we go to the libraries with the CDs.
