I'm in favor of adding an "S" to the group logo. There are a number of
non-computer related topics that have been and are being presented
routinely which the group members appear to enjoy. I also favor keeping
the "L" for its origin and group location significance, and the "C" for
historical as well as the often-presented topics devoted to computer
applications. I'm not wedded to the "T"; I don't think it adds any
information not already present without its occurrence, but am not
strongly opposed to keeping it. Finally, I am in favor of keeping the
"G" for historical reasons as well as the 'bonding' it evokes among the
group members.😉 Proposal: LSCG!
