"Disallow" is a bit strong for a vote, rather than a veto, but I would
prefer that a new name be chosen.
Reason #1: Prior use. *All* of the following use the name Geronimo
to refer to either a company, brand or product in the
software field.
http://www.apexdatasystems.com/geronimo.html
http://www.teamgeronimo.com/
http://www.geronimotechnologies.com/
http://www.casefinder.com/
http://geronimo.tor.it/
http://sourceforge.net/projects/geronimo/
http://www.eurocrypt.net/
All of them have prior claim.
Reason #2: the stated desire to not use Native American
names for ASF projects.
FWIW, some people are already starting to use the name with negative
connotations, e.g., http://www.jroller.com/page/shareme/20030806.
I would like to at least see alternative names explored.
