</span>Well, I could be wrong, but I don't think they would be willing to pay<br>
for the domain registration or the hosting. I doubt you want to pay<br>
for it Ben ;)<br>
<br>
I like the URL as it seems more appropriate. On the other hand, if you<br>
happen to stumble across, say, <a href="http://washington.ubuntu-us.org" target="_blank">washington.ubuntu-us.org</a>, you might<br>
wonder if there's an <a href="http://oregon.ubuntu-us.org" target="_blank">oregon.ubuntu-us.org</a>. The consistency of naming<br>
has a value, I think.<br>
<br>
What do you guys think?<br>
