Yes, I try to maintain the GNU/Linux Stammtisch's neutrality as I want it t=
o
expand to other parts of the Valley and state.

How about MC FSUG or MC FSIG ( Free Software Informational Group ).

I know you want MC for Maricopa County, but it sounds like something from
McDonald's or some sort of DJ.

How about Just making it Maricopa whatever or Central Phx whatever, Downtow=

Don't want to start a big name thing, but at the same time if you want the
name to imply certain things, let's make sure it does so for people just
learning about GNU/Linux and other Free Software.
