As one of the people who have put a lot of time and effort into GNHLUG, I have mixed feelings about the issue of having the "new" organization have a "new" name.
I would like to see GNHLUG "evolve", and not have it the "WEENIES" go off to form a (possibly) competing group. I do not mind having a "parent" umbrella group (like "SPI" vs "Debian"), but it seems to me that it should be the goal of the organization to create such a structure and set of arguments for it that the majority of people on the GNHLUG list would embrace it, and therefore support the effort. If we lose one or two people in the process, this seems to be the problem of growth or change. If we lose 50% of the people in the process, then perhaps we have done something wrong and should re-consider. md -- Jon "maddog" Hall Executive Director Linux International(R) email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 80 Amherst St. Voice: +1.603.672.4557 Amherst, N.H. 03031-3032 U.S.A.
