I think we should try to limit it to something that is Linux related. In your 
example, Cygwin is probably not related.

Look at our charter in our bylaws. It reads:

The purpose of the LEAP shall be to:

   1. Promote, foster, and develop skills in the use of GNU/Linux operating 
system, hereinafter referred to as Linux.
   2. Provide learning opportunities for members with all levels of ability.
   3. Advocate Linux

That, combined with the list charter should be enough to draw the topic 
guidelines.

So, Linux related topics are on topic here.
