There was a discussion around this on the admin list.  My point is, ALE 
Northwest is not as useful as ALE-KSU, or maybe ALE @ KSU.  Point being, 
by knowing the name, you know where they meet.

It's a valid concern regarding the issue of ownership.  I was trying to 
make it short and sweet, but I guess we could use The Northwest Chapter 
of the Atlanta Linux Enthusiasts which meets at Kennesaw State 
University. :)

Seriously, at this point, it doesn't matter much to me, I'd suggest we 
just come up with a name and stick to it.  Shall we call for a vote?

ALE Northwest
ALE KSU
ALE Cobb

??

I'm okay with ALE-NW.

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
