The club built off the "University of Canterbury Linux Users" list
requires its own, fully appropriate, name. The "CLU" group is wider than
the initiator, including more diverse O/S community, so owes both a step
closer to integrity, by renaming now to either:
a) Canterbury GNU/Linux Users Group; or
b) Canterbury Unix Users Group.
Because we've already heard the copious angst over 'a' (merit-worthy or
otherwise), and given the 10/4/7 evidence, it seems we must opt (and so
I move) for 'b' - CUUG.
This mailing list is simply known as CLUG and IMHO will continue to be.
UCLU has allowed a "CLUG" to appropriate it, thus far, as per your lead,
as per Carl's cited documentation of events. For how long that lead can
be appropriate is the question here.
The use of the word "linux" does not preclude interest in other similar
software. The lack of the term "GNU" does not imply antipathy for GNU or
Mr Stallman's philosophies.
The latter has never been the sense of any discussion of GNU here, as I
recall - unless you can provide us with a reinforcing quote please.
If you want to start something else then do so. In the meantime please
keep your motions where they belong - in your nappies.
No need to cr*p yourself in fear, oh wise one.
I am but Joe Citizen, knocking on your bunker door.
