getprogramming.org was open, and I grabbed it. According to https://www.sec.gov/edgar/searchedgar/companysearch.html, there are no companies named Get Programming. According to http://tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/gate.exe?f=tess&state=4806:7me383.1.1, Get Programming also has no marks on it. I think it's a viable, descriptive name, but re-branding would be a pain. Thoughts?

Closing this issue because I think we've confirmed it would cost too much time and/or money to fight this :( Better to just change our name to something we can claim, and this way we can pick something less generic too. I see it as a win-win. Better to change the name now while our group is still young than to wait until later when it'll be a huge hassle.
