I think you are right about that.

I told him the other day that we were discussing it. He mentioned that he
does not like beer, so he won't be drinking any beer, but I understand
from other sources that he *really* likes food, so he'll probably want to
eat some. His last message read as follows:
If the group does change its name, I would be glad to get together with
the group some time while I am there. That will be Oct 19 late
afternoon thru Oct 22 noonish.
And please write to user-groups at gnu.org to get listed in our page of
GNU/Linux user groups.
We'll see what happens with the schedule. I thought after his talk would
be the best time.
