Name hijacking

I like the programming language named Eiffel, at least since 1998. Now I discover its name is somehow being robbed by a CI/CD project.

I simply had to let Bertrand Meyer, father of Eiffel know it. The easiest way I found is throught X (once known as Twitter):

Dear professor @Bertrand_Meyer, I’m sure you have been informed of https://eiffel-community.github.io Isn’t their name picking choise a little confusing, to say the least?

I also left the same message as a comment on his blog.

I know the name space of project looks almost exausted but coudln’t they conceive another name?
