I've been thinking about this a lot, and whilst i'm not very bothered about
the joining words - what Lucy suggested is fine by me really - I am a little
bit concerned about something else.
As far as I'm aware, we are not a GLUG (GNU/Linux User Group).
We aim to have talks of a non-technical nature if possible on a range of
issues relating to Free Software.
Therefore is it absolutely necessary to mention GNU/Linux in the mission
statement?
In my opinion, it probably isn't -I don't proposing ignoring GNU/Linux by any
menns but I don't think we should favour it over GNU/OpenSolaris, GNU/BSD or
even vanilla BSD or vanilla OpenSolaris or any other free software operating
system.
Manchester *free software* group
It's all in the name.
