Hi there,
I was forwarded a development thread from the 389 DS project [0]. They are
considering updating their default representation of user identities away
from givenName-surname to "legalName" and "displayName".
Right now, by default users have a givenName and mandatory surname, but
that isn't really suitable for many cultures where it's not that simple, or
people who only have one name. There are also cases where people don't
need or want to be identified by their legal name, for example, divorcees
or trans people who haven't had a name change, or people who need to hide
their identity.
So, instead of givenName + surname, they want to change the default to have
'displayName' and an optional 'legalName' instead. Legal name would be
your full name, no matter what length or format or ordering; display name
would be how you want your name to show up around the system.
I think it would be great if we could show support for this change either
on the mailing list thread [0], or by contacting the developers directly.
Hope you're having a lovely day,
Charelle.

Hi Fedora Diversity Group,
I am so happy to know you exist! Someone in the Fedora women's list
suggested I reach out.
My name is Emma, and I work on Diversity and Inclusion at Mozilla. Last
year we invested in a lot of research to better understand
<https://medium.com/mozilla-open-innovation/a-time-for-action-innovating-for…>
what we mean by diversity and inclusion, with a number of recommendations
coming out of that. Two of those recommendations were to build metrics
that matter,
<https://medium.com/mozilla-open-innovation/reflection-inclusive-organizing-…>
and to invest in ways of collaborating with other individuals and open
projects - to really generate change.
To those goals I want to ask *if you would be wiling to share our survey
<https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/diversity-inclusion-in-open-source-survey/2…>
*with your community, and whether anyone representing this group would be
available for an interview with our researcher - who is looking into how we
might form a collaborative for D&I in open source.
Thanks for your time, and of course happy to take questions or provide more
information on our work! 2018 for sure is all about taking our research,
and driving real change this year - would love to learn from you as well!
-Emma
