Name should capture the idea of computers, freedom of choice, cooperation and solutions...

Tech Freedom Fair
WinLin Fair (remember that exposure to free sw is a goal... name should try not to offend.)

Just brainstorming....

Spare then a thought for we benighted few who had to go the other way in

a lifetime of UNIX and Linux comes as a bit of a shock.   OpenSource
packages like CygWin are a life-saver for me.
