Yes, I found the OP highly offensive—and I have disabilities. But GIMP is an

Hi,
I am quite confident that there will be no action regarding name change
of the GIMP from the GNOME side, considering that if they do something,
they would be forced to change their own name first or being considered
hypocrit (gnome is a derogative term in several languages including my

Hi, Michael, thanks for your report.

One point: by all means say the acronymic name of the project and

And for the acronym? A renaming of those 4 words fails on the first

Dear Michael,
If I were to summarize our conversation with GNOME Foundation a few
months back, it would be this: GIMP has neither boss nor master, so
should the name of this project be changed, it will happen on team's
own terms — the decision, the timing, the name etc.
However, if your patience
Dear Gnome and Gnu Image Manipulation Program community,
I formally request that the GIMP name be changed on the basis that it violates
the GNOME Code of Conduct.
I make this request, not to cause trouble but to stand up against unintentional
