[PLUG] Political, open-source, T-shirt design

[Beldon <beldon@speakeasy.org>]

How about a Tux with Franklin glasses, a wig, and waistcoat) doing something 
like flying a kite in a thunderstorm-- and the lightning bolt can have the 
letters "GPL" on it.  The caption can be something like "Life, liberty, and 
the pursuit of source-code"  And on the back could be our name and something 
like, "Source code is free speech".

Or maybe the back and front could be reversed.

On the subject of our name.  I've always thought that we should be 
"PhillyLUG" or "PhillyLinux" not PLUG.  There are so many PLUGs all over the 
world (I can see it now, "You're with PLUG?  Which one?")  At least my last 
LUG in north Jesey (Passaic County) called themselves "/dev/plug"  We need to 
differentiate ourselves.

I think.
