So has anyone ever had a nice cup of coffee with the PDXLUG people to
work this whole name thing out? I recall that back in July something
like that was proposed.
They are currently saying:
``We've had many people ask why another group spawned from PLUG. The
main reason is because we wanted a more informal gathering with a
smaller group of people. [...]''
Now, if that is true, why choose an all-encompassing name like
"Portland Linux User Group"? Ignoring for a moment the fact that
their mailing list is mostly moribund, isn't a name like that apt to
attract people in droves? Is this, indeed, declaring victory on the
basis of whatever situation is prevailing? ("we _WANT_ a smaller
group!")
In response to David's message, on the pdxlug.org mailing list Matt
King says:
``hahahahahaha you suck''
How pleasant.
