I agree completely.  Whatever Derek wants to call it, PLUG can support
it.

Yes, well, I was thinking more along the lines of PLUG official and
supported events on our calendar.  Other events that may involve
Linux/Free Software/Open Source or members of the group, like the OS X

calendar.  An announcement in the email list would be fine, as happens
now.
