I would like to think that HUMBUG has not explicitly and exclusively  
moved to being about just OSS.  This would directly rule out anybody  
who uses anything that is not NetBSD, FreeBSD, Linux and their direct  
friends.

Solaris and OpenSolaris, Digital Unix , AIX, IRIX, Pyramid....  
etc....  I know that not many people actually use those in comparison  
to _Linux_, but please, think of the reasons HUMBUG was created.

OSS is good, but it is not the only solution or answer in this world.   
It might be a good central focus of the group, but not exclusively and  
not to alienate people whose *nix preferences lie elsewhere.
