[NTLUG:Discuss] Linux Fair needs a new name

[Bobby Mac]

Actually,  as far as names go, LinuxFest is VERY commonly used nationally if
not internationally.  I work at HP and belong to the opensource linux group
internally.   HP sponsors many Linux fairs globally for groups like our own.
 I am in the process of contacting the HP group to see about potential
support. My vote would be that we call it "NTLUG Linux Fest".

One thing is that we have an announce list which will hit over 5000 HP
employee Linux users globally. I will be sending out the announcement and
solicitation for help shortly.  Can I get feedback on what items I should
include in the announcement and call for submissions?
