as much as I hate 'me too' posts, I think this sums up my views almost 
exactly so I too am posting a -1 to name change, let's get on with more 
productive matters.

The reality is no one 'new'/outside really appreciates the differences 
we all make so Linux Australia as a brand in fact is as good as any to 
deliver the messages we want to see imparted and we shouldn't 'mess with 
the brand'.

For all I know Linux stands for
"Lively Innovation Now Upholding X' where X= anything you like ;)
