These are just the obvious ones. "Linux" does not represent them, but if you

message substantially, and foolishly excluding people who have very similar
goals to ours - and note: "Linux" limits us to the *non-growth* areas of the
Open Source industry and community. Growth in Open Source these days is not
in "Linux" but in enterprise Open Source applications, user experience, the
web and embedded devices (for which the kernel is predominately Linux, yes).

Agreed. You haven't addressed whether those people should have events of their own though, instead of being shoe horned into LCA.


I do like the idea of changing LA's name.
