As long as that name does not imply unfounded support by organisations or individuals which have not explicitely voiced such a support. Please do not think for a split second that your very interesting and generous initiative represents anyone except yourself and those who will respond favorably to your invitations. There is no 'majority' here on this topic as there is no ballot and no reasons for a ballot. So as long as you do not use my name or imply that organisations I participate in are involved as such in your initiative, please go ahead and do your thing. As a conclusion, I would recommend you to avoid naming your site after organisations such as the LUG, however informal they may be, or after concepts such as "leica-users", which implicate a brand that might want to defend its trademarks. This will prevent a lot of subsequent problems... Friendly regards and best wishes for the success of your pages, Alan.
