This is fun because one of the board member raised the question just before this remark.
We are not sure that rebranding is good but so far I like your slogan.
And we welcome any smalltalker.

The goals of esug are simple (you can see that in the first talk of esug and also the one of serge about future actions)
- create energy in the community (via the conf via new user groups)
- support open-source development
- support business in Smalltalk
- push/help teacher teaching Smalltalk
- bring open-source and business together (check my last talk at Barcelona - we need strong vendors and strong open-source)
ESUG never took into account geographic perspective, we sent books all over the world in the past.
And student volunteers came from everywhere :)

I think ESUG has been an outstanding success for Smalltalk globally and
therefore deserves to be called The Smalltalk Users Group. TSUG. Such a name
change will also give a better impression to Smalltalk and is not untrue.

All the best,
Aik-Siong Koh
