The Geronimo folks are talking about making logos and there seems to be a desire to have official signoff on the name. Please vote on one of the following choices:
[X] - Let them keep "Geronimo" as the official name. [ ] - Punt the decision to [EMAIL PROTECTED] [ ] - Disallow "Geronimo" but allow the committers to come up with any other name they want (barring anything inappropriate).
I was going to vote to disallow, as it seems that others feel like it too, but, wait, I thought, this is *my* vote, and heck, it has to say what *I* feel.
I have personally seen that the Geronimo name has been more liked than hated, and to me personally it has a good meaning. Giving that name to something that I believe in and that I want to support, is to me somewhat honoring the name. Especially when this name has become more an icon than a reference to the actual holder.
Yes, this is against the common thoughts I read here, but still what I think.
I also think that "political correctness" has become in these years more and more ridiculous, even here in Italy. We are not calling things the names we want to because someone somewhere may feel offended.
Did I want to offend them? Heck, no, so please cut it off.
The Geronimo name has already been used *soo* much, that backing off now would probably be even worse, as it will IMHO spur a discussion about this whole thing.
The more we discuss about it, the more the issue becomes bigger and bigger. Personally, I don't see any issue.
