"Natives in Tech" - a group of "Indigenous Developers" asks the Apache Software Foundation to change its name out of respect for the native people. I fully agree to this proposal although I am also a member of the ASF. You can read and sign it here:

Boost if you agree, I can think this petition will need some visibility.
