Umm . . . when did I say anything to the effect that we shouldn't put the
name of the LUG on the shirt?  In fact, I was suggesting the opposite of
that -- that we should advertise the LUG, not Linux.

The LUG.  That's NCLUG, aka the "Northern Colorado Linux Users Group"*,
as opposed to just "Linux".

I don't care if Tux is a recognizable and well-liked symbol of "the OS".
I care about what portrays NCLUG itself well.

(* = Should that be simple plural as I have it, plural possessive as
James has it, or singular possessive?  What's the official word on the
expansion of NCLUG?)
