This is a directional shift, but I would like to come up with a name
for a ministry where I offer presentations - Linux Demos - to churches
(staff and members).  I would basically produce an educational seminar
- say @ 4 hours long - that covers the following aspects of FOSS:
<>Moral/Theological/Legal
<>Technological
<>Software Availability
<>Support Options (Commercial & Community)
The whole seminar would include a well-rounded tour of Linux'
command-line and graphical environments.

I hate to carry over the name of the church ministry - Matheteuo
Christian Fellowship just wouldn't cut it.  Yet I'm stuck trying to
come up with a name.  Any bright ideas?

Thanks,
Don
