I'm with Adam on this one I don't see anything wrong with the current name and the explanation of on the website and in the FAQ. Primarily we discuss linux kernel GNU systems.
I suggest that this is a bug and part of the reason why numbers are flattening out. We don't do enough user land stuff any more. It's all installs, distributions and kernels. Maybe I'm as much to blame, as I keep bringing broken machines to meetings (or, more exactly, the same machine, differently broken each time so far) and my last present was very low-level, but it would be nice to have more demos and more presents.
Changing the name is suggested as a reminder to include other things. Maybe we should try for "ALUG's a Lively User Group" and see if that starts any fires.
I'm a bit surprised by Adam on this, as I thought he was a GNUWinII fan and very concerned with user land things.
More about kernels from me later.
