If you search the list sometime back ; i raised the same question and someone pointed that its been discussed and L was changed from Linux to libre. worldwide LUG still stands for Linux User Group .
Here are my personal views: 1. A name change would only create confusion for newbies - many wont know what Libre is ;while most know what Linux is. Although its technically correct to call it gnU user group or libre u g - Why cant we follow - "Dont fix it if it aint broken " rule? 2. for me personally Linux user group was more techie than libre .Libre has a more political (software way) inclination . 3.some people might search google to find us . why confuse them . Linux user group has international acceptance ;why make it local? . ================================ If I start a Linux User Group - kochi ,India how many would join ;) ? I would give a brand new site, space,traffic ,robust mailing list ; polls ; jabber_accounts ; individual email accounts for all (with quota ) - whatever you dream . we would follow the oder of international LUG 's and to start off would have full cor-dination over the web via collaboration softwares like wiki's . give me some yes as propellant and I am in the game .
