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. [Vote] thread:
https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/r7d7a1a7ea82bd2058e2f8634cffec75bcce585b591ee2a5709fd35d0%40%3Cdev.cloudstack.apache.org%3E

Is thre any guideline or plan to create one that recommends/guides projects
on adopting inclusive words?
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,



We are also working elsewhere on a list of alternative terms to many tech words, at https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/ASFP/Nomenclature+substitution+alternatives - this might be locked off for many people, so I'll aim at bringing this into the EDI wiki later this week.
