Hmm...  Any English professors in the audience?  We could do:

User
Users
User's
Users'

All of these examples can be found in use by other Linux groups on the
'net.  We're a group of "Linux users," but we're also a "user group."  So
I guess it depends on where you put the emphasis on the phrase.  The Linux
group in Portland uses:
"Portland Linux Unix Group" which gets rid of the "is it plural or not"
problem all together.  ;-)
