Subject:  [DISCUSS] Removing the Apache Feather from our logos?

Hi all,

I know that initially I had our designer add the feather to our logo, to
lay emphasis on the relation to the ASF.

Now over the last few years there have been many rounds of fruitless
discussions on changing the name of the Apache Software Foundation as it
would be harming the Native American Cultural Groups.
Many people are discussing on how we could rename the ASF or which steps we
could do.

One argument, that even if “Apache Webserver” was derived from “A Patchy
Webserver” as it initially was a webserver with a lot of patches. Nobody
can argue against the fact that the feather does refer more to native
Americans than towards a set of patches.

So, I thought … how about us starting to do a first step and we remove the
feather from our logo?

What are your thoughts on this?

Chris
