Hello,

As some may know there have been discussions recently about the
appropriateness of the name and branding of the Apache Software Foundation.
To help educate our communities I’ve collaborated on a statement describing
some of the repercussions of the branding and a call to change.

You can read it in full here:

The “Geronimo” project name is an unfortunately bad example of ASF’s
mascotry and is mentioned as such in the statement. As many here are
committers and members of ASF my hope is that you can use your influence to
encourage the ASF board and other leadership to develop a new brand. Let’s
work together to build a future where technology can be inclusive of
everyone.

Gunalchéesh,
Walter Cameron
