I agree with Jake. There is no need for a name change. Plus, I think the longer the name, the more intimidating and annoying it becomes. Three is a great number of letters (number of letters?) for a club. Five is right out. Keep UUG as it is, and educate public about what the name means, and about the revolution going on. It's all about Open Source, down with M$!!!
