I'm not sure that there's any great need to qualify "user group" at all,
unless you particularly want to specify "computer user groups" or "PC
user groups" (lest people think it would be an appropriate topic for
their local Remington Fuzzaway gathering).  A lot of GNOME apps run
happily on Windows and Mac too, after all, so I'm sure even those guys
(or especially those guys?) might learn something from a presentation or
two :)

Cheeri,
Calum.
