    <p>Hi,</p>
    <p>This is obviously unpleasant matters to deal with, but if we
      don't react, what will become our freedoms ?</p>
    <p>So following my initial move in GDAL in
      <a href="https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/pull/11865" target="_blank">https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/pull/11865</a>, I'm following up with:</p>
    <p>- GeoJSON writer: insert GDAL_RELEASE_NICKNAME:
      <a href="https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/pull/11875" target="_blank">https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/pull/11875</a></p>
    <p>-  GPKG: insert GDAL_RELEASE_NICKNAME:
      <a href="https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/pull/11876" target="_blank">https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/pull/11876</a></p>
    <p>-  GTiff: insert GDAL_RELEASE_NICKNAME in GDAL_METADATA tag:
      <a href="https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/pull/11877" target="_blank">https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/pull/11877</a><br>
    </p>
    <p>- MapServer: <a href="https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer/pull/7233" target="_blank">https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer/pull/7233</a></p>
    <p>- PROJ: <a href="https://github.com/OSGeo/PROJ/pull/4406" target="_blank">https://github.com/OSGeo/PROJ/pull/4406</a></p>
    <p>- GEOS: <a href="https://github.com/libgeos/geos/pull/1243" target="_blank">https://github.com/libgeos/geos/pull/1243</a><br>
    </p>
    <p>So QGIS is *going* to be affected, whatever it decides for itself</p>
    <p>Cheers,</p>
    <p>Even<br>

        <div>Hi Nyall,</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>I understand your motivation - and I am also annoyed by the
          current actions and behavior of a certain administration.</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>But I would refrain from making political statements with
          QGIS. It will lead to more and more discussion on what should
          be supported and what not - and who knows, certain statements
          might create trouble for certain users in certain regions or
          situations.</div>
        <div>After publishing the "QGIS for peace" newsfeed at the
          beginning of the Ukraine war, we got requests to make similar
          statements in other disputes or conflicts - and we denied
          those - for good reasons.</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>Disclaimer: this is my personal view - it hasn't been
          discussed yet in the PSC.

          PSC,<br>
          <br>
          In support of GDAL's 3.10.2 release having the name "Gulf of
          Mexico",<br>
          I would like to propose that the release name of the upcoming
          3.42<br>
          version is changed to "Denali" (with a splash screen of Mt
          Denali with<br>
          its correct name!).<br>
          <br>
          The motivation behind this is to protest against the political<br>
          situation in the United States, and how the policies of this
          current<br>
          US government are directly harming our community, users, and
          all<br>
          future generations who would like to share and enjoy this
          planet.<br>
          <br>
          Thanks in advance for your consideration.<br>
