We are discussing our legal name because it has at some points

Here's an example:<br>
As Chris has previously said, it has caused difficulty with pycon
sponsorships.<br>
Our values statement says that "we aim to represent and assist the
groups and individuals who make up the Free Software and Open
Source communities in Australia." One of these communities is the
Australian Python community. Since our name has damaged our
ability to assist the python community, it has damaged our ability
to fulfil our values statement. Anything that substantially
damages our ability to fulfil our values statement is worth
looking at.<br>

Hopefully that makes our reasons a bit clearer :).<br>

Just curious: how has the name damaged LA's ability to assist the
python community?<br></div></div></blockquote><div><br>I was referring to the difficulty getting sponsorships that Chris talked about - Chris has gone in depth about the exact difficulties and their consequences so I didn't.<br>
