Seems like the mail on the wiki page never reached this list ...anyway
its summarized under "Things/Points to be considered before the
change" on the wiki[0].  As mentioned in earlier mail/s can someone
clarify how to deal with the confusion arising out of having different
names otherwise this "new name" will just be a cosmetic exercise and
not an actual change in the mindsets of people.

Localization [0][1] is a term usually used to dscribe the process of
translating software to the respective regional/local language.
Stretching that to justify an Indian name for this LinuxChix chapter
name how do you propose we accomodate 415 Indian languages?
