Gary, I simply think that trying to rename the MapServer project is detrimental to the project, and I've really appreciated that you're more sensitive to this than most of the open letter signers. I'm not in love with the name MapServer by any means, but it would best be left unchanged both for the health of the project and to provide some continuity from the existing MapServer community. Frankly, I don't care what the foundation is named so long as it doesn't trample on any other open source project or foundation.
