On to the first order of business. As the subject says, what should
security team be called. Hopefully we can get a few suggestions and
then reach a consensus. Arch Linux Security Task Force just sounds like
too much of a mouthful to me.

I was brooding over this and I thought some sort of acronym that's an
actual word would sound better, so I came up with this:

'Arch Response Team for Security' or ARTS. It's a bit cheesy and
cheats a bit to get the acronym but is instantly memorable. I'm aware
arts was also a KDE technology but it has long since been deprecated.

Ideas?

Why not just "Arch Security Team" (AST) not to be confused with
abstract syntax trees :) No need to make things complicated.

This looks like the way to go, if there's no more dissenters or better
suggestions.

That's more for the mailing list I reckon. I'll leave it half a day or
so, so that users from other time zones can get their opinions heard.
The consensus, trolling aside, seems to be on Arch Security Team (AST).
It's simple and to the point so seems to be in keeping with Arch's
philosophy and therefore fitting.
