Current name: Hackers Against Climate Change
There are some concerns and alternative suggestions. Here we collect those in a possibly structured way. Please keep the arguments short. Refer to the comment section below if needed.
## Argument Collection for Suggestions
### Hackers Against Climate Change (HACC) -> keep current name
Pro:
- Clear message
- Pronouncable (due to the vowel "A")
- already somehow known (URL, M ailinglist, Mastodon)
- "climate change" is the common phrasing in public awareness
- less public awareness of other drivers of ecological collapse, e.g. farming methods, so the term "climate change" is more sticky
Contra:
- negative definition
- Anthropological Climate Change would theoretically best be fought by extinction of all humans, which is clearly not what we want
to be continued.
I propose a name for the group "Representation, Collaboration, Data, Media"
HACC CSV
CSV stands for Collaboration, Science, Visualization
Pros:
- It's short
- It's a well known technical term
- It wraps up most topics the group will cover
Cons:
- Maybe some topic the group wants to cover is not explicatly stated?
- Pronounciation is not easy

- (May I comment this? This should be common sense, so I would not list this AI-style argument here)
- Comment: We see us inside CCC, so democracy and freedom is our basement.
