(Capital Area) SE Linux user group

(Capital Area) SE Linux user group

[M. Pender]

I'd like to suggest that we put the name of the user group to a vote at the
first meeting.

I think we can do better than SELUG -- it is too likely to be pronounced
"slug" which suggests that the operating system is slow and unresponsive.

As an alternative, I'd like to suggest "Capital Area Security Enhanced
Linux" user group--pronounced "castle" user group--which suggests a fortress
or stronghold designed to keep out intruders.

I think that forming an association between SE Linux and a castle would do
more to aid our common goal of promoting SE Linux.  In any case, I think we
can do better.

The name SLUG seems reasonably popular.  It also stands for the Sydney Linux 
Users Group.

Having the name of the area in the title is a good idea though as there will 
probably be quite a number of SE Linux users' groups around the world soon.

If you make a mention of Security Enhanced X in the group title then I'm sure 
you would get more interest.

Somehow I suspect the name "SEX/CASTLE" might be mistaken for a bordello (or 
worse).  But it would certainly attract attention, no doubt about it.

And "SEX/SLUG," well, there's no telling what that would attract.  :-)

great humor. Thanks guys!

Yep, and there also is (or was?) the Seattle Lunar UnderGround (I think that's
the acronym).
