> I just assumed "intrigeri" is a real name :-) I have no ID with "intrigeri" written on it, so you may consider it's not a "real name". However, it is a "real name" in the sense that I've been known under this name, and only it, in the FOSS community since ~13 years. A number of list members have met me at various events such as FOSDEM or DebConf. This was enough for me to become a Debian developer as "intrigeri" a few years ago; AFAIK the Debian project has granted two such exceptions like this in its history, based on good reasons for it, that one has to (privately) explain to the Debian accounts managers… which was the case for me. This was also enough for many people to feel comfortable publicly signing my OpenPGP key, after working with me for some time, remotely and in person. I hope that this background will be enough to allow me to keep contributing to the libvirt project using the same identity as the one I'm known as, and was able to contribute as, everywhere else in the FOSS community so far. If a newly formalized policy prevents me from contributing as "intrigeri", then I'll need to have my contributions relayed by other people to this project, which will be impractical, demotivating, and a waste of time for everybody involved. In case this helps: > In this case the patches are the same as those already carried by > Ubuntu, and trivial enough to not have copyright consequences imho. I am not a C person, so I expect that all my future contributions will be minor updates to the AppArmor policy for libvirt. They should thus not have copyright consequences :) Thanks for your work, cheers! -- intrigeri -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
