I think it should be both.

rsync is a very useful tool (see wikipedia for an overview of it) and
I'm sure that many people who have been using it for years don't know
about some of its features. There is certainly a lot we can say about
rsync, but not quite so much that a group would want to meet about it
regularly; so, the joke was that the group should actually be about a
variety topics unrelated to rsync which are of interest to people who
just happen to use rsync. Not as funny once explained, but since I do
actually want it to be called NB-RUG I guess it is good to explain it :)
