I'd say that the name of our group has not demoralized its members, and I would also like to point out that a decision has been made on the name. Whether I like it or not is not important. Let's wait at least a year before beating the dead horse again. Advertising our club might even aggravate the problem that Evan was describing: we have too many people casually interested in Linux, etc... (and installing it on their computers) and not enough knowledgeable members that can help them all. It seems to me that Evan is looking for support from the members that are leaving soon in raising up a new generation of gurus (a.k.a. core uug members) to keep the good tradition going. There is already interest out there. A name change is irrelevant. We need participation from current members in order to keep the tradition alive. Or if we don't want to do that, at least we can let Evan know and help him not stress so much about trying to make these things (booths, installfests, etc...) work. ____________________ BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ ___________________________________________________________________ List Info: http://uug.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list
