Robert, Try Apache, and Geronimo. What about Jakarta?
I think its time we just stopped this, Glasgow isn't probably too bad. But what if you'd picked Bristol? I'm not picking on you particularly, I just think its time we reconsidered the re-use of proper nouns. d. On 04/08/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
This seems utterly ridiculous to me. "Raises certain moral questions"? "Goes against the wishes of the communities it affects"? Did the residents of Granada feel exploited when Ford decided to name a car after it? How about the Seat Ibiza? Do you boycott Penguin biscuits [a brand of biscuits in the UK] becuse you think it "exploits" penguins?

Cliff, yes I do. As you may have seen from previous posts I've only just been catching up with this. My concern is that it is not appropriate for the incubator to continue to condone a practice which at best raises certain moral questions, and at worst can be seen as exploitative and often goes against the wishes of the communities it affects. The fact that Glaswegians may not feel particularly exploited, or that there is a precedent for proper nouns to be used for project names should not matter. What should concern the incubator is, as Robert said, continuous improvement. Please would you at least think about re-considering the name and trying to come up with a proposal which isn't also a proper noun? d. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This communication is for informational purposes only.
