When dealing with the public I think we should be as generic as possible.  Everyone can have their own special names in their minds for the event.

Every name, other than a bland reference to the event, will offend someone; and really, whether we agree or not with the offensive nature of the name, we want to include everyone.  That is the spirit of Ubuntu and this LoCo.

I don't know anyone more offensive than myself, but I really love this community thing and wouldn't want to exclude anyone.
