Hello all @diversity, We have been seeing movements on projects changing the use of some terms.
Some of these recent changes have been addressing the "master" branch and also replacing "black/white-list" for options such as "allow/deny-list". Recently we, at CloudStack, started to move towards the same direction; however, there have been some discussions regarding which name to choose, as well as if there is any position from the Apache Software Foundation of such changes. I am raising this regarding the recent discussions on the Apache CloudStack project on renaming the master branch. You can find the mails linked bellow: 1. [Discuss] thread: https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/rd7df8d0fc813c47fda6640970c3fb7c065a08fff05c42f367ae8efbc%40%3Cdev.cloudstack.apache.org%3E 2.

If not, how we could contribute in order to stablish one? I would also like to know if this e-mail would fit on the ASF board Mailing list, I thought first on bringing this to the diversity@apache. I appreciate any feedback. Best Regards, -- Gabriel Beims Bräscher Apache CloudStack PMC Chair (CloudStack VP) The Apache Software Foundation https://www.apache.org/ https://cloudstack.apache.org/
