Hi All! I keep going back to thinking we need to get a formal name first and build the logo around that name. I know that Ryan has sent a list of he, I and some others came up with to Bill. I am not apposed to using deadpacket.com on the end of the domain, it is easy for me to remember and there is no problem keeping it (its registered to me).
I have been thinking about this one a lot and I keep coming back to it: "Sioux Linux User Group" or SLUG. I think it is real catchy, easy to remember, and don't care if it sounds a bit like Siouxland Linux User Group. By using Sioux we can also play off "Apache" which makes the first logo work if we drop the City of Sioux City logo from it. BTW: The link to the logos page is http://slug.deadpacket.com/logo/ if you didn't see it on the homepage of the site. Also, I will work on getting some kind of forum installed so we can post to the site as well (like Mike has suggested). Brion. At 10:24 AM 2/14/2002 -0600, you wrote: >Don't get me wrong....
