This is an good release, in my opinion. I do have a couple of comments
for incoporation in the next release round.

The PLUG logo displays the "official" name of the group: Phoenix Linux
User Group. No "'s" on User.

When the latest logo was created there was much discussion as to what name
wording was appropriate. "Phoenix Linux User Group" is descriptive with
Group as the main subject. "Phoenix Linux User's Group" is possessive
with a single user possessing the group. It should be "Phoenix Linux
Users' Group" if there is to be more than one user possessing the group,
but it would be confusing to say and print. So, the descriptive wording
was chosen. (That is my memory's nutshell history of the dicussion at the
time.) Anyway, the name is without the "'s"

I would change the words "by the recent lawsuits by SCO" to "by recent
court actions" or something like that. In fact, I would remove any
reference to confusion and lawsuits. Just say something like "increasing
interest in the main-stream press." In any case, don't give SCO any more
publicity by mentioning them.

This part confused me a bit as it sounds like the LUG is a regional office
for the companies mentioned. Maybe "the same functions normally provided
by the regional offices of large corporations;" would work.

Change to "...anyone may join. PLUG also welcomes..."

I don't know if we can say AZOTO is non-profit since it is not officially
organized as such, yet. Hans can answer that concern.

Thanks for the work on the Installfest!
