There's actually more KDE in Linux than there is GNU, so you'd be better off calling it KDE/Linux.<div>They're called Linux User Groups, but it's really for anyone interested in tech topics with a free-software flavour.</div>
<div>Calling it GNU/Linux in this respect would be counterproductive.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 9 June 2011 20:05, Martin <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:martin@ml1.co.uk">martin@ml1.co.uk</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
At the moment, we've got for our website the title:<br>
<br>
"Nottingham Linux Users Group"<br>
<br>
and the tagline:<br>
<br>
"For all and everyone Linux"<br>
<br>
<br>
For those that know, what we commonly describe and use as "Linux" is<br>
actually a vital chunk of "GNU" tools and utilities running on top of<br>
a kernel. The "Linux" is actually 'just' the kernel. All of that is<br>
protected by various flavours of the GPL 'copyleft' licence. Neither<br>
part can work without the other for we commonly understand to be<br>
'Linux'... Indeed, I think the GPL has been essential for defending<br>
the very existence of "GNU/Linux".<br>
<br>
Trying to be more descriptive, are there any objections/comments for<br>
using the title:<br>
<br>
"Nottingham GNU/Linux Users Group"<br>
<br>
and the tagline:<br>
<br>
"For all and everyone and anything Free/Libre and Open Sourced"<br>
<br>
for the group website?<br>
<br>
(Is there a FLOSH for the hardware for FLOSS?! :-) )<br>
<br>
<br>
What say you all?<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Martin<br>
