Unfortunately I had to leave asakusa.rb early, but I did get a chance
to talk with the founders of the group about the name.
The issue they took with the name "Tokyo Ruby User Group" was that
they don't see themselves as just users of ruby, but as Rubyists.
Most of them preferred tokyo.rb over TRUG, but as I felt this group
serves a different purpose then *.rb, I thought another name was
better.
So, a new name was suggested which was agreed to by all (those I was
talking to at the time): Tokyo Rubyist Meetup.
I like this name better then the other ones so far as well as it
conveys the more social nature of this group.

So I am going to rename this google group to Tokyo Rubyist Meetup, and
I hope we can put the discussion of name behind us. Please note that
the email address and url for the group will change.

OK, renaming is done. I created a dummy group at the old address so
anyone who follows an outdated link sees this one.

Google Groups sets the "mailing list" header, so you can easily create
a filter that adds this label to them using gmail.
