the different time (8:00PM-10:00PM) and day of week (Wednesday) of their meeting than ours is actually something discussed among our members several years ago to increase membership. promoting Open-Source software is an acceptable activity if the group name differs by a dash from ours. the meeting place for them is a web hosting company. --- On Sun, 11/29/09, cstickelman@xxxxxxxxxx <cstickelman@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: From: cstickelman@xxxxxxxxxx <cstickelman@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [ncolug] Name and Website To: ncolug@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Sunday, November 29, 2009, 11:42 AM Howdy gang! By now you've read my letter to the *other* group trying to use the NCOLUG name. My belief is that we need to defend our right to that name and refuse to allow any other group access to our name. This may be a hard fight if the folks on the other side do not wish to make a change. Do any of you have opinions on how we handle this further? Should we take action to make sure that name "belongs" to us? This new group does have a website - it's fairly crude, but it's something. Which brings me to the topic of our site. It's been so long since we lost control of ncolug.org that I don't even remember where we are with it... What does the group feel about this topic? What should we do? Personally, I *HATE* the fact that we lost control of our domain name! I'm NOT too concerned about how it happened, but I am not comfortable with things being in limbo. Again, I seek your input.
