Is "silicon-beach" more than just a mailing list and the name of a group getting together at drinks on friday? it's just a collection of people without any "legal" standing isn't it? If so, does it really need to change?
if a change is in the winds though, i'm all for not having the word silicon in it at all - nothing against silicon, but it's used because of it's association with a particular north american area, and surely we can do better than have to "imitate" (surely we can "create" :) On Sat, Oct 6, 2012 at 3:55 PM, Alwin Chin <alwin.c...@gmail.com> wrote: > +1 > Yeah I agree with Elias. > > It's not like Silicon Beach is an incorporated body that makes money out > of the name...
