One quibble - when we discussed the event name, BUD (Business Users Day) was
suggested but lost out on the grounds that a BUDFEST would draw the wrong sort
of folks and we felt it would undermine the gnhlug tradition of supporting microbrews!
:-)
FWIW, some of the names suggested were:
BUD, Business Users Day
Business On Linux
Linux Business Users Show
Linux Business Expo (turns out Z/D runs this in conjunction with Comdex)
In Business with Linux
Linux In Business
Linux Business Show
The consensus was that last one, others might be used as sound bite tag lines or
slogans.
Also, to reiterate - if you are interested in helping with this event, or even in just
knowing what's going on with it, please subscribe to the gnhlug organization list
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> because we'll be moving all the traffic for this event
over to that list ASAP.
THANKS!
