It was only for ILUG *COCHIN* that meaning of L was changed to Libre (which was a braindead decision anyway), for other parts of the world, L in ILUG stands for Linux.

There's nothing we can achieve by changing a name. The aims and objectives regain the same.

FYI, Jos, there's no ILUG organisation (maybe for Cochin, but who knows). Its a participative community, with no formal structure.

ILUG stood and still stands for Indian *Linux* Users Group (Indore? Uhh.. let's hope Indore guys don't read this thread).
