Generally speaking you're right. We (a couple of my collegues and I)
discussed today some ideas on alternative IOSUG naming for this
specific reason, but didn't come up with something both cute and authentic.
OTOH, Israel is too small to break it to the city level. Possible name
clash ? Let me see - Iceland, India, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Italy. Well, I hope
we'll manage :)
That said cool and fancy non country-based names are fun.
FROSUG rocks IMHO.
