   I've been developing software using components from the Apache Foundation for over 20 years.

   I think they should change their name to eliminate the indigenous appropriation and erasure that comes with it.

     @spacehobo ya know, that's a good point. I can't speak to what took so damn long but I'm just glad it's happening.

     @robdaemon I once saw a Brian Behlendorf talk where he admitted that he named the project in haste, somewhat arbitrarily after the musical track (he was a DJ as well as a programmer), and that he realised it was not in the best taste and he thought the project owed something to the Apache nation as reparations.

     That was 25 years ago. What's taking so long?
