'public name'
Hi,
We have a person who has contributed code to OFBiz who is reticent about
having their name in public, which is what I assume the 'public name'
field of the iclas.txt file is for. That's only available to members,
right? Where else does the real name get used? If the person in
question can't trust the ASF with their real name, then there isn't much
to be done, or am I mistaken?
Thanks,
--

For the record, this can be one step more complicated than that. I, for
instance, have two legal names depending on jurisdiction. I could choose what
I am *not* known as, to be the only legal name, but have chosen to keep
my 'birth name' where ever possible.
Perhaps one should only use pgp identifiers avoid confusion. ;o)
Cheers
Niclas

I am, I suspect, the person in question. As you might guess, Upayavira
isn't my legal name, but the one I was given when ordained as a Buddhist.
I signed an iCLA with my legal name, and for-warned Jim that I would
prefer to be known as Upayavira. He was able to store the ICLA with my
legal name, and record the ICLA in iclas.txt using my preferred name.
I don't know if that is precisely what is desired by this particular
individual though.
Regards, Upayavira

In short, I think that the person should sign the iCLA with their legal name
(so that it can be bound by force of law) and then note on the iCLA that all
references to this person should be under 'X'. (Only Jim will see this -
everyone else will see 'X'.)
FWIW, we have at least one ASF member who uses another name than what their
'legal' name is. (N.B. I'm fairly sure that he follows this list - if so,
he can chime in.)
So, it's not a problem for us - until as Jim pointed out, we have to
disclose it - which generally means you're an Officer and at that point, all
bets are off as to your privacy... -- justin

As an example, if the person were to become an officer
of the foundation, then we would need to use their
legal name in such things as D&O Insurance filings
and anything that might involve our tax status.

Their "real" legal name is only used in cases where it is actually
legally required. In all other cases, we use their private
name. This is even the case for things like the member
attendance records of the foundation, etc...
