I think that we should use the LinuxChix trademark to state that the
magazine was created by members of this community.

Yes the name of the mag can be gender neutral in the sense that it doesn't
contain the LinuxChix name but we could add a subname that says its a tech
mag written and created by women in tech.

- Do we want something witty, wacky, or straightforward?


Something relevant and recognizable.
